Hey, this annoying Avast shortcut icon keeps reappering on my desktop like 4-5 times a day, i’m tired of removing it, sometimes it even reappears without me rebooting the pc, please stop doing this or tell me a way to stop it, otherwise i’ll consider uninstalling this software and changing to Avira or something else. I’ve been using Avast for more than 2 years now but this is really annoying…
Post a screenshot.

It’s just an Avast shortcut, reappearing multiple times a day under the only 2 other shortcuts I got on my desktop, which I like to keep clean, not sure how this screenshot can help…
I too like my desktop clutter free, so I don’t have any desktop icons ‘shortcuts’ displayed on my desktop. I use RocketDock for easy access for commonly used Programs, Functions, Explorer, frequently used folders, etc.
Even for the most part I don’t allow programs to set a desktop icon were there is an option to allow/deny it. I don’t believe avast has an option, even in the custom installation not to set a desktop icon.
The only advice I can give is don’t delete it as it will just keep coming back or in your case with so few desktop icons hide them all.
That’s strange. It shouldn’t happen. Would you mind to provide us support package to check the logs? https://www.avast.com/en-us/faq.php?article=AVKB33#artTitle Then provide me just the ID.

I have deleted mine from the desktop to see if it comes back without intervention.
