I upgraded my Windows XP SP2 to SP3 last week. Since then, my avast not showing any taskbar messages like ‘Vius database updated’ or ‘new version available’ messages. (Previously I used to see these messages in green and blue sliding pop-up boxes in taskbar after I turn on my computer.)
Why is that?
Program settings > Update(Basic) > Both ‘Automatic’ radio buttons are selected.
thanks.
Click the Details button at that settings page and check if the configuration is right.
Details button shows everything enabled/checked except ‘show icon in taskbar tray’.
Update every 240 minutes.
thanks.
Weird uh?
I’m empty to help further… sorry.
Yeah, my XP SP3 machines work fine… maybe try a repair if you haven’t done so already?
An Update:
It is working. I saved the same settings by clicking on ‘OK’ button on both screens instead of just closing the windows. It seems I had to save settings after SP3 upgrade.
Now Avast showing sliding pop-ups with automatic updates.
thanks all of you for your time.
Cool. Glad you got it workin’!
