The tooltip of the 'a' icon on the system tray must say how many providers are running (of 6 in total). Just put the mouse over the icon...

Or, click the icon, ask 'Details' and browse the providers to see more info...

The icon rotates just when a module is 'scanning' a file right now... Otherwise, it states calm and stopped  ;) Of course, the avast! settings in your system could make the 'scanning' operation more frequently (for instance, if you choose to scan every open document or running program).

Wellcome to avast!  ;)

Try right clicking the Icon then 'access protection control' from the menu. You should see if the resident protection is running and for 'how long'.... I believe  ;) :)

Like Technical say's, the Icon doesn't rotate ALL of the time  :)

Feel free to ask more help... Do you know what happened? Or just another 'computer mystery'... Unfortunatelly, Windows is not a deterministic system... Everything could happen!  8)
