How Do I View Scan Results in Avast?

The Avast Antivirus program automatically generates a log of all manual and scheduled scans. The log displays the type of each scan, the date it was run and the scan's results. Avast conveniently displays a Show Results button at the end of the latest completed scan so that you can view the scan's results with one click. However, if you want to view the results of a previous scan, you need to access the program's scan logs through the Scan History window.
