Avast does not show up in the sys trey when I start computer. I don’t know weather it is running or not. I turn on from all programs. Does anyone know how to get computer to recognize avast at start up.
Thank you

Hi CharleyO
Thank you for your response
I am running windows xp sp3 using windows firewall plus malwarebytes and spyware blaster.
Is “hide unused tray icons” set? If so, disable that. right click on the start-button and select “properties”
Thanks for the suggestion but I have already tried that. I have solved the problem kind of. I put it in win patrol start up and it now shows up on the system trey at start up. I also get the avast splash screen and have to close then everything is ok. I guess that is the best I can do. thank you for your help
