Two 'a' blue icons
« on: December 12, 2008, 11:11:29 PM »
Strange... even if I try I won't be able to do it...
I have two blue 'a' icons on system tray.
Of course, just one ashdisp.exe entry on the startup items.
This is the first time I observe this weird behavior.
Any clues?  ???

if you leftclick the symbols, does every times open the avast on-access scanner-window?

can it be that an other application shows an incorrect icon (that one from avast)?

Maybe... I'll further investigate...

It disappears as mysteriously as it appears before... ???

I think it's a WinXP bug - if you terminate a process (e.g. from Process Explorer) its tray icon is not removed (it's not even active, if I move mouse over the icon, it'll disappear). Look at my screenshot.
