Title: Multiple Avast Premier Icons in System Tray
Post by: Slidika on January 28, 2019, 11:42:59 PM

Recently I began seeing many Avast Premier icons in the System Tray.  Starts out as one, and then gradually increases.  I have seen as many as 20 (!), which seemed to accumulate while I was away from the PC.  Anyone know why this is?

Repair Avast:
1. Avast GUI -> Settings -> Troubleshooting
2. Click on 'REPAIR APP'.
3. Follow instructions.
4. Reboot.

Neither left-clicking nor right-clicking does anything.  So how do I get to the GUI?

1. Download Avast Premier Antivirus: https://files.avast.com/iavs9x/avast_premier_antivirus_setup_offline.exe
2. Follow instructions: https://www.avast.com/uninstall-utility (Run this tool for all prior installed Avast versions..!!)
3. Reinstall Avast with the downloaded installer from point 1.
4. Reboot.

By going to Control Panel | Programs and Features | Avast Premier, I was able to click Change and it seemed to update the product.  Thanks!
