Respectfully I do not agree that it is a windows thing as avast must I assume block some progs if required? If you have manually disabled JavaScript, follow the steps below to re-enable it:.

When you contact Avast Support to report that Avast Antivirus failed to install on your PC, you may be requested to provide a setup log file for further analysis.

The files in the log or report folder are pretty clear depending on what it is you are looking for. As I said previously the more user friendly info is available form the avastUI, that is generally imported from the raw text files.

I don't understand the concern about chasing update history. The avast virus definitions and engine update is set to Auto, it checks when you first go on-line and every 4 hours after that free version, can be lowered to 2 hours, the Pro version lower still. So you know that the update check is done automatically. Should the update check fail, you will get a pop-up to report that, after an update check where an update is available, it is downloaded automatically in the background, when complete you get a pop-up notification and voice confirmation that the virus database has been updated.
