each & every time I scan even a single file with the 4.8 free edition, ALL icons in the start menu and in explorer vanish
I tried tweakui to rebuild icons, but that only made the desktop icons vanish too
I tried to use task manager to do 'end task' on explorer, but that did nothing to restore the icons
I called the friend that has been using this for over a year, and she said "this is normal, you must restart after every time you use avast"
somehow, this doesn't seem right - it would appear that somewhere during the scan, avast grabs the GDI memory for working space or something, thereby deleting all icons that have been loaded
it seems that tweakui only calls the GDI for a fresh copy of the icons to rebuild the graphic page rather than hunting down each icon, and I don't know any way to reload them without a reboot
is there a work-around for this?
avast 4.8 on winME
EDIT: I notice that the icons don't disappear until the program is closed - as long as the scan panel is open, all explorer & start menu icons are OK, click 'exit' and they are all gone
