Pajama Guy, I'd suggest uninstalling avast (temporarily) and see if it solves the problem. If it doesn't you'll have to start elsewhere. If it does, though, reinstall avast and we can try to do some further investigation.
BTW what OS are you using?
Thanks

Thank you,
I'm running under XP SP2
Alright after some reinstallation and restores i'm 99.9% certain this "might" have somthing to do with the installation of 4.7.981 update.
step by step of what I did (to encounter the problem again)
1. restored the pc to
pre 4.7.981, all icons in the tray work fine. After restoration and subsiquent restart, Avast ask me to restart.
2. Instead of restarting I uninstalled Avast, restart.
3. redownloaded 4.7.942 and installed latest !AVS update(not program). Everything in the tray works fine and normal as it should at this point.
4. Through avast I use the "program update" in updating, Avast program downloads and installs the program updates, ask for restart.
5. After restart tray icons disapeared again.
I have no idea whats going on, the only prevention for me is to not update to 4.7.981
I'll try uninstalling Avast
after the 4.7.981 update and icons disapeared next.
Thanks for the help.
:EDIT: Ok I uninstalled Avast 4.7.981 and after restart the icons came back in tray.
