Multiple Avast Premier Icons in System Tray
« on: January 28, 2019, 11:42:59 PM »
Recently I began seeing many Avast Premier icons in the System Tray.  Starts out as one, and then gradually increases.  I have seen as many as 20 (!), which seemed to accumulate while I was away from the PC.  Anyone know why this is?

Neither left-clicking nor right-clicking does anything.  So how do I get to the GUI?

By going to Control Panel | Programs and Features | Avast Premier, I was able to click Change and it seemed to update the product.  Thanks!
