After installation of avast 4.8 professional edition on a vista box , a popup menu doesn’t appear on “avast! On Access Scanner” tray icon and no VRDB tray icon exist.
Any ideas ?
(ps. I have run the same installation on XP and everything works fine).
Can you try to repair your installation?
Go to Control Panel > Add/Remove programs > avast! antivirus > Remove. Then choose Repair function in the popup window (Repair).
If this does not help, can you uninstall / boot / install / boot again?
I made a clean install and after reboot i had the same problem.
So i disabled the UAC (User Access Control) and all the avast tray icons appeared and i was able to see the popup menu and of course change the program settings.
My question is , if there is a way to have UAC enabled and the tray icons up and running ?
Sure… it works this way. I have UAC turned on and the icons are there, always were…
Did you have any other antivirus in the past?
Do you use any other security program?
