Sorry I’m not an avast server edition user, so I’m not sure how this works with the server edition, but what is common in the avast 4 Home/Pro is the avast icon, ashDisp.exe (or possibly aswDisp in the server edition) is kiled by other security software that monitors startup entries.
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), PrevX, WinPatrol, ProcessGuard, etc. (excuse the various desktop versions but there are likely to be server versions for some or others) ?
hi david,
i have spyware doctor on board and the xp security home would these upset the icon

Yes, there is a possibility…
Maybe Spyware Doctor has a backup that you can restore. Than add ashdisp.exe to its exclusion list.
Other ways to solve this:
Spyware Doctor most certainly (XP Security Home I don’t know about) as this has done the same in the desktop avast 4 home/pro, so you will need to check the StartUpGuard part of spyware doctor and ensure that the avast icon is restored and allowed for the future otherwise it could be gone again.
