Avast status symbol

For what it's worth, mine has changed from shield to circle this morning, That was from a soft startup, not a full "Restart".
Like DavidR, I prefer the shield over circle design, but seems trivial change. UI v1.0.440.

And an update (or rather the version/build and UI version have been updated.  Why isn't this communicated to the user I don't know and I would have to suggest that they also inform users why a reboot is required.

Hi Dave, as you seem to be interested, I usually post updates (build/UI) in the German section.

You're welcome Dave. (Side note, links will change with program updates.)

I took that as a given, perhaps you can add the link to the new topic for the program update (in the existing topic), unless it were to become a sticky.

My icon is still a shield. UI version here is still 1.0.437, no updates available by now.

What do you mean by 'reboot'?

What do you mean by "reboot"?

Restart your computer.

Restart your computer.

I thought it was related to the program itself, but i'm doing it few times every day.

At me it's still with the shield ones :/
3 reboots, nothing happened.

You still have the old UI version, 1.0.437 according to your 3rd image attachment, the latest UI version is 1.0.440.

Try a manual Program Update and follow that with a system restart.

I also tried that.

I also tried that.

Not sure why you haven't got it then.

Personally if that is all there is in the new UI (which I doubt) you aren't missing much then, and a UI bug that effects lots of people still isn't resolved.  I refer to the different reported VPS versions if you use the avast tray icon About Avast and the avast UI > Settings > General > Update.

I also tried that.

Have you actually re-started your computer or, did you just shut off and the start it back up?
