Resident Protection stuck on disabled

[Flapper]

Hello all,

Following a renewal of my (free) home licence, I am unable to turn on Avast's resident protection.

I move the slider to 'Standard' or 'High' and click 'ok', but it remains disabled. When i exit the program I no-longer have the reassuring blue sphere in my task bar. Anyone know why?

The manual Virus scanner works.

cheers

Hello Flapper

You mean that you don't see avast! "a" icon in the system tray?
If so you can see if the icon is not dissabled from the program settings > Settings -> Appearance ( here must have an option to show the "a" icon in the system tray)

Or if this don't help, you can try to repair avast! installation > Add/Remove programs -> avast! Antivirus -> Repair

Thanks for the ideas..

Ended up just unistalling and reinstalling - seems to have done the trick.

cheers.
