I cannot find the VRDB icon anywhere after installing Avast 4 free edition.

The installation seemed to go well but it never put the VRDB icon in my system tray.  I do have the Avast icon but when I right click it there is no option to split into two icons.

I've also tried repairing the installation several times, and have uninstalled/re-installed three times (twice with a fresh program download).

After reading this forum I also looked in the avast4.ini file for the appropriate lines to edit but cannot locate anything relating to bubbles. 

Finally,  running ashdisp.exe had no effect at all.

I'm running the software on a Pentium 4 Dell with 512 meg ram.  I do use Zone Alarm but haven't noticed any conflicts.  Zone Alarm was disabled during the last install.  AVG is installed but not running.  MS Antispyware is resident.

Can anyone offer any other ideas?

Cloussau found the fix for me.  Thanks.

Here is my first post on the forum. Not much to it really ......

I'm new here having just started using Avast one week ago. I've downloaded a few of the skins. Just wanted to say ... Thanks Sasha ... for the LCARS skin! Very nice addition. ~ CharleyO    :D


I had been on the forum several times as a guest before making this post. There are only a few skins that I do not have now as they just are not relevant to me.
It seems like it has been much longer than it has been.    :)

Also having a problem with web shield on firefox,ie6 and yahoo browser where some sites will not load at all,  e.g. PCPitstop, beta news etc mainly sites with lots of graphics, but some with lots of graphics eg sg1archive .com loads OK .  Yet when I turn web shield off they all load fine and dandy.  However when I go into customize and delete the redirected port the pages load OK.  The question is do I need a port number in that section?
This was mine and then vlk directed me to start a topic - my first where the ZApro and webshield problem was first resolved

Avast! detects that that link is contains a virus code. Anyone else had this ? I encountered it by going to: www.microsoft.com ---> going to latest releases ---> clicking on Internet Explorer Release Candidate 1 ----> and when the page loads, I get avast! detecting
Code:
http://rad.microsoft.com/ADSAdClient31.dll?GetAd=PG=CMSIE3SC=F3AP=1164.

My scanner was set to silent mode, so its aborted and I'm safe right ... ? The one good thing with this is that we know Internet Explorer 7 is closer to release ...

-EDIT-
Corrected post linking.

Hehe ... Guess that was my first post, August 26, 2006, when IE7 was on the bounds of being released. I guessed I was a bit -what the...- when that happened. And I needed some help with osme other stuff later on in future posts. I'm glad that I'm still a member of Avast! forums :) !!

There's a new windows XP update that states:

Update for Windows XP (KB887742)
This update addresses an issue that could cause your system to stop responding if certain firewall or antivirus programs are installed. You can help resolve this issue by installing this HTTP.sys update from Microsoft. After you install this item, you may have to restart your computer.

It doesn't say what A/V programs this is for, but I thought I would give everyone a heads up.
