Can't open the Avast icon in my Windows tray
« on: March 14, 2015, 08:39:27 PM »
Hi:
I got a message yesterday  that an update was ready on my Avast but i was busy doing something else and could not respond right away.  No I have a tab at the bottom of my screen that won't open when I click on it nor will it disappear when I want to close it, plus I can't open the icon in my tray so I can update my Avast.  I am using Windows Vista Home Premium on my PC. Anyone have any ideas how to fix this?  Thanks.
