I downloaded the new version yesterday Jan28th 4-6-763 and I notice when I shut down there is no red ciricle with the ninus sign on the ( a ) by the clock and I did a repair and it still not there I was wondering did anybody else notice that. Is it part of the new version that is not to be there. Plus I don’t the name of the symbol of it. Thanks for the help.
The red line indicates that avast is shut down, this was normal although I have no noticed it on the latest update (not looking) will check next time I shut down
So, you are saying that the avast! tray icon is blue all the time (which would be OK), or… ?
I just want thank you for the reply to esexxboy and to igor. To igor question the (a) ball stays blue when you shut down your computer with the new build. I quess I won’t worry about it if I am still being protected from stuff. Again I thank you for any help that has been given.
Just rebooted and you are correct avast now shuts down as windows exits. That little extra protection, nice
Thanks again essexboy I did reboot like u said but the little (- on the a ball still dosen’t show. ) I quess its not a big deal at least everything is running okay. My only concern if I have to worry about it and what I get from you I should not worry I just thought it was me it was happening too that is why I ask.
I just want to thank you for the help 
lava1, you should’ve worried about how it was before (that is was ending prematurely). Now it’s fixed.
In other words, everythings OK. 
That clears up something for me. I thought probably my system was to blame as Avast! was closing, and not detecting Floppy in drive, Cd-Rom in drive . I felt it was probably a windows shutdown problem, killing Avast! prematurely . Up until a few months ago Avast! would always hang in and close at the very last moment. I could count on it telling me if I hadn’t removed a CD or Floppy.
Great ! Just got the Update, haven’t rebooted as yet…
