new avast icon in system tray???
« on: December 05, 2016, 07:12:48 PM »
Hello. I got this new icon in my tray. It says that it belongs to Avast antivirus. I have a free version. When I hover over it with mouse pointer, no information is shown. I can't either dobule or right-click it. Help please. Thank you. Pictures are in the link.

Only if you do not want to use a VPN, disable it in the Antivirus settings. I have a VPN removed by antivirus installation. And you can disable it by going to Settings, then go to - the component to omit down and see SecureLine VPN, click on the blue icon included. And then you need to reboot the system. Also, you can remove it.
