I’m trying to figure out when avast blocked a trojan. A popup appeared shortly after I launched my browser but there is no entry of this event in webshield.txt. I rebooted, but no activity for today appeared in webshield.txt on reboot.
webshield.txt only has two recent entries: a trojan was blocked on 1/30 and another was blocked on 1/31.
These two trojans are also listed in the avast UI (avast! web shield scan logs) but there’s no column for date (just url, severity, status, action) so I can’t tell if these refer to the ones listed in webshield.txt or one of them tried again today.
Unfortunately, I didn’t have time to write down the name of the trojan avast’s popup advised me about today so I don’t know if it was a new trojan or avast was reminding me it had blocked one a few days ago.
If I got a popup today, why wasn’t it recorded in webshield.txt.
Can I set a column for the date of an event in the avast Web Shield Scan Log UI?
Thanks for any and all help and clarifcation.

I’m using the free version of avast. I save more than a tabs between browsing sessions.
