I used “Advanced Windows Care V2 Personal” to try to speed up my laptop as was when I first purchased it. After i finished the scan I lost my Avast Icon in the tray.

I’m using XP Vista, please advise.

Thanks

  1. Check the option in the Appearance tab of settings.
    or
  2. Repair your avast installation through Control Panel.
    or
  3. Make a link to ashdisp.exe in your startup folder
    or
  4. Add the path to ashDisp.exe into a value named avast! in the Windows Registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

If that does not help, please, uninstall, boot, install again, boot.
