tray icon

avast services are running fine but i cant see the avast icon in system tray,is there a way of repairing this or getting it back in the system tray?

First check that ashDisp.exe is running in windows task manager ?

Second I assume you have checked it isn't hidden by clicking the < icon to the left of the clocl ?

What other security software do you have ?
Some monitor and stop new start-up items.

As a temporary measure until this is resolved you can create a desktop shortcut for this file C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\ashDisp.exe (the avast icon and interface to the providers).  Right click on the file and select Send To, Desktop (create shortcut). You will need to run this after each boot until the problem is resolved.

Check the option in the Appearance tab of Program Settings. Or Make a link to ashdisp.exe in your startup folder.

ashdisp.exe is not running,and i have avast home comodo firewall 3 and comodo boclean running full time.

Well you need to check out those to see if they have a start-up checking function and if they have disabled it.

If you can't find anything, you can either place a shortcut in your startup folder as mentioned or you could reinstall avast and watch out for any warinings/alerts from other proceses about ashDisp.exe.
