Re: Avast not on startup menu!

[b]I love Avast Cool!

My avast home free does not show along the start up icons on my lower right side! Cry
When I download email to Thunderbird the online scanner icon appears down there Huh!
When I open up the simple use interface and click on the Resident Scanner button, it indicates that my settings are set to Standard Smiley!

My Query is; Is it being activated automatically on startup?

Or is it only being activated when i manually go to the user interface?

How can I correct this and get the Icon back on the lower right hand side on Startup? Smiley

Thanks for the great products, I recommend and install it on all my friends pcs Cheesy!

What avast processes are running in Task Manager, they begin with ash or asw, see image ?

avast! icon missing - As a temporary measure until this is resolved you can create a desktop shortcut for this file C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\ashDisp.exe (the avast icon and interface to the providers). Right click on the file and select Send To, Desktop (create shortcut). You will need to run this after each boot until the problem is resolved.

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 or OnGuard), PrevX, WinPatrol, ProcessGuard, etc. ?

Check the option in the Appearance tab of Program Settings. Or Make a link to ashdisp.exe in your startup folder.

Do you have any other antivirus in this computer?
Did you have in the past? Which one?
