I guess this is still a problem even as recently as ver 8.0.1419.

shgos says, simply delete it.

That is not a solution to a problem, it is just a flippant remark.

I keep deleting the icon, but it keeps coming back.

I guess I have to run a scheduled task every 30 mins or so to check for and delete the icon because avast programmers can’t handle listening to their end users suggestions.

Any other ideas?

Mark.
