I have also have this problem. Win XP SP3, IE8, and avast!Free 6.0.1091. Last day or two I noticed X’d tray icon, normally on when booting but this time it stayed X’d. Hovering over icon gives “avast! Antivirus: WARNING, your system is UNSECURED.” Left clicking icon goes to title page which says SECURED and shows 5 green circles. Rebooting twice did not change status. There is no exclamation mark in the tray icon. Windows Security Center says everything is OK. Is my avast! working correctly? What’s up with the icon?
