Hello all, pardon my most likely newbie question!
Just noticed today that whenever the computer is idle for a few seconds, a little icon pops up in my system tray (separate from the Avast icon). Here is a picture (I hope I have done it correctly):
It is hard to tell from the picture, but the icon is animated and acts like a white arrow bouncing around the border very fast, trying to get out. This action is accompanied by harddrive activity (but no web activity that I could see).
In the picture above, on-Access protection is disabled, but I enabled it and the icon still shows up with exactly the same behavior.
The question is this: Is this icon part of Avast? If so, what does it mean?
Thanks everyone.
