Report File and Scheduled Scan
I'm running AVG Antivirus Free version 17.4.3014. I've noticed 2 things... I've created a scheduled scan to run every morning at 5:00 a.m. and enabled generating a Report file, provided a name. I've also manually run a Full Computer Scan. The problem is there appears to be NO way to access any Report file... and the AVG console reports last scan was when I manually ran the full scan. Apparently the Scheduled Scan either isn't running at 5:00 a.m. or its running but isn't reflected in the console message. Without access to a Scan report file I have no idea if anything other than a Manual scan is running. Bugs?
I would like to inform you that AVG user interface shows Last scan run data(only if you press "Scan Computer" floating button) and not scheduled scans and other smart scan updates. However, in the next release of AVG Free Antivirus, the quick scan, deep scan and full comp scan or scheduled scan should be reported too.
To generate a scan report please follow the below steps,(for example: Deep virus scan is considered.)
- Open AVG Free Antivirus->click Scan setting (symbol of gear, bottom of the window)
- Open Deep Virus Scan setting (symbol of gear, Deep Virus Scan tile)
- Click on "Report file"
- Check "Generate report", fill "Filename" (e.g. AVGScanReport), and check all reported items (Infected items, Hard errors, Soft errors, OK Items, Skipped items)
- Click on "OK" and "OK"
To view the scan report, please follow the path " C:\ProgramData\Avg\Antivirus\ report".
Thank you.
You can find the reports by inputting this chain:-
C:\ProgramData\Avg\Antivirus\report
Hope this helps
