Hi all,
Got a little problem that has me wondering what to do.
My icon for avg (ewido) has disapeared of my taskbar,I still have the desktop shortcut and its in my start up menu but, they don't open.
I've checked add/remove and c/programs,they both tell me the program is still there.
I've tried right clicking on several items to scan with the avg 7 but,all that happens
is the timer runs for ever. in orderfor it
to stop I have to end task as the programs will not respond.
Has anybody got ideas as to what I can do to get it back .

I would just reinstall it.
I'm not sure whats causing it but that would sure fix it and its easy.

Thanks for reply Rridgely,
Iforgot to mention that my icon for Adsl (little green triangle )has also gone.
The computer itself is running a bit slower,response is not as good.
the only thing i have done before this started is install superantispyware, surely this can't be anything to do with it can it?

[rridgely]

Dont think so. Did you scan with superantispyware? If so what did it find?
(it keeps logs in the preferences menu. Post that for me to see.)

[incy wincy]

Yep, did a scan with it and it found nothing

Good and bad in that I guess. Good you didn't have anything bad, and bad we don't know whats causing your problem.

Post a Hijackthis log so I can see whats running on your system.

Do you want me to post it in here or hjt ?

[rridgely]

I guess in the other section. I don't really care.

[incy wincy]

I know there's some keyboard key usage or shortcut that can disable AVG Anti-Spyware's real-time protection as I witnessed it in Ewido 4.0 but I never found out exactly what I was pressing on the keyboard to disable it.

I ended up removing it due in part to this, and because it was causing my system shutdown and startup problems, strange it's the same thing the new CA Anti-Virus was causing too and together they were troublesome on my system.
