I have Avast Internet Security 5.0.594 (licensed version) installed on my laptop.
IBM ThinkPad R51 1 GB memory, Windows XP.
On system boot Avast! loads, but instead of remaining minimized in the system tray
it puts the user interface up on the screen. All shields are running fine and system
is secure; I can close the interface and carry on but it’s a bit of a puzzle why this
is happening on my laptop - I have the same software installed on my desktop system
and all works as expected. I’m probably overlooking the obvious but any help is much
appreciated.
This issue is usually attributed to an extra registry entry that causes the avastUI to run twice, hence it opening…
If you run CCleaner, and look in tools → startup then you may see two entries for avast!
One of them is superficial and could be removed, though I can’t quite remember which one it is…I will have to look for the thread which I saw this before…
