On-access scanner, Where'd it go?

[pwjdawson]

I installed Avast 4.6Pro and I had the little blue icons in the systray and the on-access scanner was working great, I scanned the computer and even opened up an untrusting file i knew i had and it caught it. But now after shutting down and booting up the computer I have no on-access scanner or blue icons and I have no clue how to get it back on?

Any Help???

I wonder why all the sudden everyone started to lose their tray icons. Heck,i'm using avast! too and i haven't lost them.
Any comment from Alwil team?

Yep... My avast! is working perfectly too...  Some kind of mystery with icons on others' pc's... Aliens...  Seriously, it would be interesting to know the answer.

Some time ago there was a rash of these for people who were using SpySweeper had a false positive and it was picking up the avast ashDisp (icon) as LopDotCom and deleting the registry entry hense no icon.

Perhaps we are seeing a repeat of this problem, with another adware/spyware program?

I don't think this is the case now. My fix tool should fix that problem,but it appears it fixed icons only to one person.
