Exclamation mark in icon... can it be stopped?

Hi… I just installed v5 on a secondary comp. This is a sidepost, my immediate concern remains the other thread
http://forum.avast.com/index.php?PHPSESSID=87e2f3a6ff6bbbe4b3e9a955753768fa&topic=56121.0

I turned off the Behavior shield, as i intend using Comodo firewall+HIPS on the newly installed comp. The Avast icon is now persisitently showing a glaring exclamation mark. Is there some way to turn it off? I mean turning off the BS is something i have intentionlly done. The exc.mark need not be there forever as an irritant.

Hi, open avast settings then click status bar uncheck the shield.
hope this helps

Yes it did! Thank you,

Btw, i solved my other problem too. So, got Aavst 5 running on both comps now.
