What webpage had the threat

When AVG, or another AV, finds a threat and notifies me that it found
one, a threat riding on Firefox, it never says what url I was accessing
that had the threat, or what tab it was on? It would certainly help to
know.

Is this because I have the free version? It does't list that among the
advantages of the paid version. But it seems unlikely it wouldn't
know.

I have several Firefox windows open and several tabs in each. This
happened whiile I was having dinner but even if I were in front of the
scree, the connection has been "aborted" and I don't think there is any
way for me to tell. I wasn't visiting any new or risky url afaik.

In this case it identifies it as URL:loTBotnet, from
https://vast.doubleverify.com/v3/vast?_media...... It shows it as one
level of severity out of three.

Stopped using Avast awhile ago. Avast bought AVG, so I'm guessing there
was a convergence of features.

The popup doesn't look something like the pic below?

As I recall, there was also a log listing what threats got blocked, but
that might be my recollection from using Avast Free.

This has happened before but I don't think I knew, probably, exactly
which url did it before.

As I said, this link gave me a script-won't-stop error. And it must
have been this link because I was away from the computer for 2 hours,
and clicking on the link above was just about the first thing I did when
I got back.

After I cleared the script-won't-stop popup, the error popup from Avast
showed, about 1/3 the height and width of the display part of the screen
(the rest of which was black), just as intended, I presume.

But no tab was white while the others are blue. All of them are blue.
And there are only 14 tabs so there are none hidden to the right or
left.

When this happens, several other things happen. While other FF windows
still work in this window:
Ctrl-W won't close the tab I'm looking at or any other tab.
Clicking on a tab won't change the focus to that tab or any other.
Clickking on in the lowest bar does nothing.
Right clicking in many places opens no menu, only a narrow grey empty
list box, with the emphasis on empty.
Clicking on the X in the upper right corner does nothing
In the past, the text within one tab, the tab itsself not the rest of
the page, was surrounded by a black box, but that hasn't happened this
time.

I can resolve this by Exiting FF. If necessary by using Task Manager.
I'm pretty sure when I reopen it the current problem window is always
fine.

Eventually I will ask on the Firefox newsgroup (thought it doesn't seem
nearly as busy as a few years ago.)

But I wanted to point it out to see if anyone else had this problem
becuase of http://i39.servimg.com/u/f39/12/06/30/71/url_ma10.jpg

It is because it knows that an idiot is using their product when top
class antivirus default product from Microsoft would do a better job.
