Web Shield Log and Popups and Date of Event?

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.

Are you sure it was web shield? Why not Network / Script / Behavior Shield?

You could review each log / report / history of each shield and may found info there.

Yes. No firefox activity in behavior shield log. Nothing logged in network or script shield logs. And the popup named firefox and showed a url.
