Avast Icon, others ?

[bluberry987]

Have just joined Avast ! Heard it is the Best Anti-Virus around.
So, Hi, everyone !   
Now, shouldn't I have an icon on the desktop ? Maybe others for different functions ? How do i install them ?

Avast should start automatically on boot, normally there is an avast Icon on the desktop (and some don't like that, clutter).  It is for the AvastUI.exe file not the main program but to allow you to access the UI.

There should also be an avast icon in the Notification Area, System Tray (bottom right of your screen), if it isn't there it could be hidden, you just need to drag it into the tray.

Opening the AvastUI allows you to add or remove components.

No icon in the tray at all. Also, I've made a change in my profile. Hope the right name shows up next time ! If anyone answers my questions, will I be notified ?

1.  You didn't say if you checked the hidden icons ?

2.  You should get notified, if not, click the Notify button at the bottom of the topic.
