Yes, both ENGINE AND VIRUS DEFINITIONS as well as PROGRAM are set to Automatic Update.

Within the AvastUI, it says : SECURED. Your system is fully protected.

But when mouseover at the system tray icon, it says "Your system not fully protected".

Look at avast! shields control > to see if All shields are on.

What is your operating system and Service Pack level?

What is your system CPU and speed and ammount of RAM?

Yes, both ENGINE AND VIRUS DEFINITIONS as well as PROGRAM are set to Automatic Update.

Go to: Settings - Status Bar
See, if anything is checked, that is not installed/running at your system.
Maybe post a screenshot, if you are not sure...

All the 7 services are turned on.
The Status Bar has ALL the monitored items ticked.
The AvastUI says system is fully protected.

But the system tray says otherwise.

So, this is what I did. I turned off one of the services. In this case, I turned off File System Shield.

Immediately, Windows Firewall prompts me saying "My Computer is At Risk. My Anti-virus is not updated".

So, I turned back on the service File System Shield.

Then I looked again at the system tray icon by mousing over it.

It says: avast1 Antivirus: Your system is secured.

So my guess it is a program bug.

Thanks, everyone for helping.

1. So my guess it is a program bug.
2. Thanks, everyone for helping.

1. Usually a restart should fix this, but sometimes you need to wait for the next autoupdate to get this fixed...
2. You're welcome..!

Hi Asyn,

I think it is already fixed. By turning off any of the services and then turning it back on, my guess is that this refreshes the icon message shown when mouseover. Why it is behaving like that, only the program knows.

Now, it is showing "Your system is secured", which is similar to the message shown in the AvastUI interface.

So, thanks for raising the issue of the status bar to my attention which makes me think that most likely I need to turn off and on some services, to refresh the user interface and it worked.
