just installed it today
Also I had sarted a boot scan but fell asleep, when I woke it had completed and I was on my windows login screen, however I didn't get a report when I opened up Avg.
Unreal. To take away functionality takes TIME and MONEY, so there is a reason that the history report has been removed. It is not likey that AVG will put it back without trying to extract subsciption dollars somehow. I, too, have been a long-time user of AVG, and the insidious pop-ups to make me try to upgrade were bad enough. Now without a history report, I might as well be using Windows Defender (which also does not have a history report). As other users have noted, this report can tell you many things, but for me it was the way I knew when the last scan was and how long it took to finish. Even without finding any nasties, the report was useful to help you decide if you should run a scan or not, based on when the last one was and how much time you have. Avast is owned by the same parent company as AVG, and Avira has come out ahead as leader in the free antivirus market. Sadly, I will also be checking them out, and I will no longer be recommending AVG for free users or paid, which I have done freely and often in the past.
I have this same question. I was so frustrated trying to find the Scan history log report,His and when I could not, I came across this post. I can not believe AVG would not have the ability to view the Scan History Log Report. Having an antivirus scanner without the ability to view a Scan report is mind boggling. Being a user of AVG for many years, decisions to make changes like this make me wonder if my decision needs to be changed, and time to start researching alternatives.

No need to worry, our developers are working hard to add this feature in newer version.
You can also submit your valuable feedback through the following link, so that concern team will definitely get look into that: http://www.avg.com/product-feedback .
Thank you for understanding.
Good luck with getting an answer to the wher are the reports question it is one of the things that I asked about when the recent unheralded update to AVG Internet Security started causing issues.
Maybe you may recognise the problems I have been having, my thread appears under "General Discussion" like yours. The problems I have had came along with the irritating AVG pop ups, please view this thread to see you are not alone, but you may not get any help from AVG.

Since the Recent Update of AVG this is apparent…
I have spent hours trying to find where the scan reports are hidden. Without them I have no idea what has or hasn't been found, and what has been done with anything suspicious. The version I had before the big update was far better. I have already sent my feedback. I am very unhappy with this. Is there an anticipated timescale for any new update on this matter?
This may help Windows 10 users looking for reports on your scheduled scans. I found the reports stored in the Windows 10 hidden folder C:\ProgramData\Avg\Antivirus\report under the file name I assigned to it when I set up the scheduled scan and report file. .
I had to enable viewing of that hidden folder by going to OS (C:) clicking the VIEW tab at the top of the page, and checking the box on the right HIDDEN ITEMS. After that the Program Data folder appeared with all the other folders.
One year ago, when the inability to view scan logs from the GUI was reported (see above), Aravindh replied on behalf of AVG that "No need to worry, our developers are working hard to add this feature in newer version."
One year on, despite persistent complaints, it seems we are no closer to having this elementary and essential feature restored. AVG, what kind of impression do you think you are creating, here? Do you think paying customers like myself are going to renew their subscriptions?
Akash was close (maybe autocorrect interfered) but the correct folder to find scan reports is
C:\ProgramData\Avg\Antivirus\report
I'm on Windows XP using AVG 17.4.3014. I have a scheduled scan and I set it to generate a report in the settings. But I can't find the report. I see you've said where to find it on Windows 10 but where is it on Windows XP?
(Also it would be nice if you added a button so you can just click on it to see the report or something. This is so much less intuitive and convenient than AVG has been for many years with this feature.)
Hi,
AVG Free for windows 10 used to have a history report before the upgrade that was easy to find. I can not find the report that showed completed scans and updates. Has anyone been able to find it?
Thanks a ton and enjoy the day!

Where do we find the resident shield results?
