No Icon on tray and no Resident Protection

I had AVG and decided to try Avast. I uninstalled it and installed Avast. Tried uninstalling in Safe mode, installed again. Repaired… tried everything. Uninstalled even Windows Defender and turned firewall off… no Luck.

I can start Avast and scan. When I close there is no icon on the tray. When I set the Res Protection to anything other then disabled and close the setting window, if I try reopening it it is set to disabled again. It does not remember my setting.

Please help … I will post The highjack log here as well

I could not run hijackthis until I changed the name of the file to something different.
Changed to hijackBis.exe and it worked like a charm… weird… Other problems still there.

Anyone ?? PLeeeease ?

Please someone help… I really wanna give avast a chance but if I cannot solve this soon I will be going back to AVG…

Thanks a lot…

Problem solved.

I noticed my regedit would not start as well so went after fixing that problem.

I ran CCleaner to clean problems with my registry.
Tool a look at hijack this but found nothing suspicious.
Next I found a program called Combofix and that did the trick. I would recommend running it if you are facing similar problems…

After running combofix the machine rebooted and the avast icons are there and working properly.

Hope this solution can help others… Took me a few hours to get over this.

Glad that you fixed your problem.

You will like Avast! its really a great anti virus.

Mr.Agent

Sorry not being here before. I’m having busy days. Glad you’ve found the way.
