Taskbar Icon
« on: March 24, 2012, 11:18:36 PM »
When I started my Laptop, the taskbar icon was missing. I know how to customise it. I tried a repair from Programs and features, then a complete removal & re install + updated. Icon still missing. Action center shows Avast is ON

What other security software do you have installed, anti-spyware, etc. ?
Spybot search & destroy has a bad habit of blocking the avast startup entry for avastUI.exe.

The action center would be correct in that as avastSvc.exe is the avast process dealing with the security, the treay icon isn't directly security related.

Same as me then, do you have the anti-spyware module ?

Presumably the tray icon was there before ?

In the application rules in Outpost and ensure that avastUI.exe is allowed, Network and Anti-Leak.
If it is allowed, then delete the entry for it and start avastUI.exe manually from the C:\Program Files\AVAST Software\Avast folder.

I cleared all Avast entries in Outpost before remove & reinstall. Could this http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=95998.new;topicseen#new be related.

I don't believe so as that relates to BSODs not just a missing tray icon.
