CAvastTrayIcon bugged in taskbar

Hello, I’m having a bit weird issue, my Avast taskbar icon keeps showing itself as if it was beign used (as in the pic attached), I tried to disable/enable the systray config with no changes in this behaviour.

Thx in advance for any reply and happy new year.

Ive got the same thing in my task bar as well. Was wondering if anyone can tell me how to remove the icon.

In case anyone is still having this issue I managed to solve it by manually ending the process in the task manager, reboot system, and poof it solved itself.

I have the same issue. Cannot find a task in Task Manager to end as Sanosuke said to do. Have tried uninstalling and re-installing Avast Free, rebooting multiple times, repairing avast installation etc. This has only been happening since I last updated end of December.

When I opened the Task Manager it showed an application running as “Avast something something (sorry I cant remember)” right clicked that → go to process
And there where 2 Avast process running, one was the “bugged” one, shutted it off and never came back, the “main” program runs fine as far as I can tell.
