Avast doesn't show up anywhere
« on: July 25, 2016, 05:57:15 PM »
Avast is running under services and tasks.  However, it's not showing up in the 'Running Programs' area on my toolbar/desktop.  It shows the 'unknown' icon and says avastui.exe is corrupted or unreadable.   Tried to reinstall but it didn't fix anything.  I have the Premier license.  I want to be able to change the setting that shuts down the pc after scanning.  Or allows me the option of a yes/no "do you want to shut down".   It's frustrating to be in the middle of something and it just tells me "I'm shutting down now".
