can't right click the "i" icon.
« on: May 05, 2009, 10:54:33 PM »
I have the two icons, a and i, in the system tray.  When I hoover the mouse over the "i" icon it says "avast! Virus Recover Database (VRDB) Generator, but when I right click, nothing happens and the status box says no VRDB generated.

Any ideas?

This is what you should see when you right click on the 'i' icon, see image.

I presume the right click function works for other windows processes, e.g. in explorer, etc. ?

If so try a repair of avast. Add Remove programs, select 'avast! Anti-Virus,' click the Change/Remove button and scroll down to Repair, click next and follow.

Yes, me too.
I'm just trying to follow if UAC is involved in somehow. ashdisp.exe runs with non-elevated privileges and maybe, it's weird, it could be related.
If you have a program running with UAC privileges in system tray, there is a possibility of right clicking be blocked. I have one application in this situation...

Are you sure that you're using avast home?

If you're at work, it might be because the ADNM console has it locked out...
