The Missing Visual Component of This NG--Interpreting a Vault Message

I find it somewhat surprising in a recent post I made that no one can
interpret a message from the AVG vault that I'm mystified by. Well, OK,
I've not posted it, so how could that be?

I've requested that someone provide me with a web site that allows the
temporary post of an image of the vault contents. No responses. I know
they exist, because I used one a few months ago. I've misplaced the
bookmark; however, as an example, there's one for exchanging information
on the text of a computer program. <www.pastebin.com>, but that's for
collaborative debugging of (text) programs. So why isn't this info a
"natural" part of this NG?

One respondent suggested an AVG Forum. That's fine, but what about here?
I would think the simple interpretation of vault messages would be well
known to any regular on this NG.

Maybe a web forum would be a better venue for you. Your expectations about
Usenet are not realistic. Here are two excellent web forums:




About Usenet:

- Usenet FAQs from the Internet FAQ Archives

Even on web forums people are under no compunction to answer you; however,
you can post images on some sites (read the site's FAQ).

I believe I asked for log excerpts and NONE were provided.

Some people use imageshack IIRC.

More pertinent information with less attitude would help if you expect
anyone to care about answering your questions. No-one here is obligated
to do so.

Yes...

A picture may be worth a thousand words in some cases but, not this one.

Log experpts, in plain text, showing the fully qualified name and paths to the files
deemed malicious with the names of what the files were detected as would go a long way.

Thank you.

I'd say there's some attitude showing all around.

I guess I didn't get the $1000 suggestion award.

Two things of interest. There's no way to copy that info out of the
vault, and the specific info I referred to is no longer there.

Well, next time I scan.

I don't know AVG like other AV appications but I believe the vault is nothing more than a
quarantine. A repository to hold a possible malicious file in a safe, unusable location,
until it is proven malicious or deemed a False Positive. If it is deemed a False
Poisitive it can be restored to the orginal OS location from the vault.

Most AV applications log events. Such a log event will show the fully qualified name and
path to the file(s) deemed malicious and to the name the anti malware application calls it
(e.g., Trojan.Win32.FraudPack.rcj ).

The following is an excerpt from an Avira AntiVir logged event...

Virus or unwanted program 'DR/Delphi.Gen [dropper]'
detected in file 'D:\suspect\MIRT\files\acode.exe.
