Hi
I recently had to refresh Windows 8 and thus lost all my installed programs. I first installed KIS 2014 and had done a Full Scan with KIS at Max High Level which found nothing.
I later installed WSA IS to run with KIS 2014, and during installation WSA ID'd a threat and I chose to have WSA remove it. Idiot that I am I did not write down the name of the infected file or what the infection was. Is there a location in WSA or on my PC that I can access that would have recorded the threat detected and removed during WSA installation ?
WSA recommended after full installation that I change all my passwords because of the threat it had discovered.
Unless the threat was sitting in some non-exe file it is likely new because I did my Windows refresh yesterday afternoon.

Identifying Threat WSA Removed During Installation

Hi hawkeye
Yes, you should look in Quarantine (click on the gear/cog to the right of the PC Security tab, and then select the Quarantine Tab) if WSA has removed anything it should be detailed therein.
You can also check the latest Threat Log (click on Utilities tab, and then on the Reports button revealed, you then click on the Save Threat Log button to display and save a copy of the latest threat log which should detail any threat that WSA has recently identified and removed).
Hope that helps? Please come back if you have any further questions.
