[DrJeepney]

avast resident protection is the "A" icon right?

but i dont see the Avast "A" icon on my taskbar at the lower bottom right corner of my screen. it was there before when i unistalled avast.  

i just installe avast 4 home again yesterday.  that icon is gone.

i set it the resident protection to standard by clicking the A icon, but i dont see the A icon in the taskbar after i retarsted my comp.

avast! is not properly installed   ashDisp.exe is the icon (but it will not at startup itens of Windows 98, if so, nothing bat will happen anyway). On Windows 2000/XP you must have two services running in automactically mode: avast! Antivirus - Manages and implements avast! antivirus services for this computer. This includes the resident protection, the virus chest and the scheduler, and, avast! iAVS4 Control Service - Provides automatic updating for the avast! antivirus.

If avast tray icon missing the resident protection mau be still active (it runs by ashserv.exe and ashsimpl.exe). All of them are:

ashDisp.exe (App - actually, tray icon)
ashMaiSv.exe (App)
ashserv.exe (Service)
ashSimpl.exe (App, present only if console window is open)
aswUpdSv.exe (Service)


The task names of avast should be in Windows 2000 (as in XP):
1. ashDisp.exe (Application - actually, tray icon)
2. ashMaiSv.exe (Application - Internet Mail)
3. ashserv.exe (Service)
4. aswUpdSv.exe (Service)

5. ashSimpl.exe (Skinned Application, present only if console window is open)

The first four must be running into your OS.
