Resolving Threat Detections

You will receive notifications on threats that are detected across your network. In the Cloud Console, these will appear as device alerts on the Devices tab, and listed events on the Alerts tab. In the On-Premise Console, these will appear on the Notifications page and as device alerts on the Devices page. For more information about threats and managing your notifications, see Threat and Alert Types and Configuring Threat Notifications.

Most threats detected by AVG will be sent to the Virus Chest on the device for you to review and either restore or delete. You can view all threats detected on a device and the Virus Chest in Device Details, accessible by clicking on a device name on the Devices page. The Threats Detected tab shows the threat status, name, file name and location, how it was detected, and the date of detection for everything detected on the device.
