Hey guys, while I’ve been using Avast for a couple of years now and am Tech savy, this one has me stumped. First of for some reason while I see Vast in my Start menu, I DOT see an Icon in My Task Bar. Also, I cannot change my Settins. They are set so High that I cannot tune into an Internet Radio Station, It )avast) Blocks it. Any thoughts guys?

Welcome rickster
What operating system and Service packs are you running?
Do you have the latest avast! update installed?
avast! icon missing - As a temporary measure until this is resolved you can create a desktop shortcut for this file C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\ashDisp.exe (the avast icon and interface to the providers). Right click on the file and select Send To, Desktop (create shortcut). You will need to run this after each boot until the problem is resolved.
What other security based software do you have that might block new startup entries, e.g. Spybot S&D (TeaTimer), AdAware (AdWatch), SpySweeper, Spyware Doctor (StartUpGuard or OnGuard), PrevX, WinPatrol, ProcessGuard, etc. ?
Check the option in the Appearance tab of Program Settings. Or Make a link to ashdisp.exe in your startup folder.
My OS is XP X64
Also, I am up to up to date on service Packs, Etc, Definitely on OS , avast, I think I am, as my Start menu Avast Icon says: 080925-0,09/02.
I hope that helps!
Well you’re two months without update 2008/09/25 is the last date you’ve updated :o
