Title: Icon missing from toolbar
Post by: dwilmot on January 12, 2014, 08:04:16 PM

Hi,
I am using the free version and since the last update  I now find that even after several re boots the revolving icon in the tool bar is missing. I am using Win 7.
Thnx for any advice as the advice that I can find on the forum seems to be several years old.  i.e. 2005

1. Download Avastclear, Rejzors uninstall tool and the appropriate Avast program edition

Note : You need to be ONLINE during the install (sometimes online installer works whereas offline doesn't)

3. Uninstall in safe mode using Avastclear.
4. Run Rejzors Uninstall Utility in Normal Mode (removes traces avastclear doesn't) - reboot.
5. Install the version you downloaded.
6. Reboot.
