the blue "i" and the "e" icons on my bottom tray are missing

I just today installed AVAST Home Edition 4.8. The blue “i” and the “e” icons were shown on my bottom tray next to the clock.

They are missing now. I can NOT find them.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks so much

Can you try a repair of Avast?

Start–>Control panel → add or remove programs -->avast antivirus -->change/remove–>scroll down and select repair

Hope this helps

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), PrevX, WinPatrol, ProcessGuard, etc.?

For the ‘i’ icon (VRDB): http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=14356.msg121337#msg121337
Did you merge both icons?
