Can't see settings, hiden behind taskbar
« on: March 23, 2017, 10:52:42 PM »
All web pages and every program I open the bottom is always right above the taskbar. But with Avast the program drops behind the taskbar and settings does not even show. I tried right click and hold on top of Avast to move up but when I let go it snaps back below the taskbar. I see no way to check settings. The program will not minimize smaller either. I could adjust my screen resolutions but not gona do that just for avast settings

Just right click on the avast tray icon and select about avast, that is part of the settings screen.

It is a known issue and should be fixed, possibly on the next program update.

@ bob3160, don't have a google account, so unable to view youtube video.

Whilst I have a google account, I'm generally not logged in to it but I can view it. When viewing the video I can see at the top right of the page a Sign in button.

I can't see google insisting that you have a google account to view it.

I only sign in when I view my gmail and log out afterwards.

It was my fault for grabbing the wrong link to post.
You don't need to have a Google account to watch YouTube videos that are
publicly available. :)
