Hi there,
I am a loyal user of the avast Free version.
My current avest free version is 6.0.1203.
Recently I have to switch off avast temporarily during some other computer operation.
However I may have wrongly used right-click on the avast tray icon and selected: “Disable permanently” under “avest shield control”. For after that operation, when I restart Win XP (pro edition) avest no longer run automatically. I have to run avest program before the program runs again and the avest tray icon shows again.
I confirm this issue with Windows Task Manager as well:
After restarting Win XP only AvestSvc.exe is active;
only after manually running Avest then both AvestSvc.exe & AvestUI.exe are active processes)
I have checked the setting in Avest, and the option for “showing avest tray icon” (in basic setting) has been tagged already. So please help, for I think my computer is not protected if I fail to remember to manually run avest after restarting Windows.
Thanks.
Regards,
Ricky
