Hi,
I have recently downloaded the new free Avast on to my new PC windows 7 and everything is fine as good as it always was.
With it came a box which displayed on my desktop which showed a green tick to confirm all was well I deleted it by mistake, DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW I CAN GET IT BACK PLEASE, I found it reassuring to know that all was well on opening.
Thanks
JRJR
Not really sure what you mean…!??
But if you open the avast! GUI you’ll find the info there.
Hi Asyn,
Thank you for replying.
It was not an icon it was like a ox which sat on top of the desktop window, you could make it small or large and it just displayed a green tick if all was well.
What is GUI please can not find when I opened Avast?
JRJR
The GUI is What you look at when avast is open
Grapical user interface
Sounds more like the OP is talking about the avast gadget, I can’t help with that as I have it disabled in my win7 netbook (never use it).
Hi JRJR,
Seems to me that you are talking about the avast! Gadget. Quite simple to get back, once you know how.
Right click the Desktop → Gadgets → Double Click the avast! Gadget.

EDIT: David, can you even get gadgets on Starter?
Also, if the gadget isn’t listed, it can be reinstalled by going to
C:\Program Files\AVAST Software\Avast
and running:
aswSidebar.gadget
You should then be able to add it again
Yooo!!
Thank you scott I had just found it as your email came in, thank you to all for replying.
JRJR
I can and did or how would I know about it being the gadget the OP was on about
Having had in on my tiny screen I found it to be a waste of time and resources, never used it. But I had to jump through lots of hoops to get it (didn’t appear on the Gadgets screen) and to get rid of it.
You’re welcome
Fair enough
I guess we will have to let the others off, since they are on xp ;D
