Hi, you must manually scan with Avast Home edition. The system tray icons are the Avast monitor and VRDB (virus repair database) tool.

Hi, helpers: I downloaded Avast from the jaws users list hoprograms page and now have 4.8 on my xp home computer. There are two items in the system tray. Question: what are they and does their existence in the tray mean Avast is doing its antivirus thing? Or do I have to go through the context menu and choose various items? Or do I have to manually scan every time or is this all automatic? I don't even know what most of the choices mean much less whether or not I need to choose them. I uninstalled AVG free because it ran for ages and slowed down everything to a quicksand crawl. What should I do? marilyn For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
