Norton AntiVirus 2009 Tray Icon

[Rain_Train]

Hi, I have a problem with Norton AV 2009. All of a sudden, the Norton tray icon stopped showing up at startup. I look at the Task Manager and I see "ccSvcHst.exe" is running, but the tray icon doesn't show up. I even try double-clicking the desktop icon, but nothing happens. I've looked for a startup entry of some sort, but there doesn't appear to be a startup entry anywhere.

I know my system is clean. The tray icon just stopped showing up, and I'm not sure how to get it back. Can someone help? ???

Try this (http://winhlp.com/node/16). If that doesn't help check this:
I had a similar issue with another antivirus on 1 of my computers the problem on that computer was that the terminal services wasn't automatically started at each boot. You can check this: press the windows button together with r now type services.msc press enter. Now right click on the terminal services select properties by start-up type select automatic press on apply and ok. Now reboot your pc see if you still have the issue.

Alright, I rebooted my computer, but the tray icon was still missing. So I just went ahead and reinstalled, and it works fine now (so far...).

Hi :)


The same thing happens to me from time to time :(
Laptop .. Vista Home Premium - NIS 09

However!
The same thing also happens from time to time..
On My Desktop Computer .. Vista Home Premium - AVG 8 :what:


It Always Seems To Happen .. After There's Been A - Big Update ::)
Kind of like they replaced the old Icon with a new one.
And the new Taskbar Icon is set by Default to - Hide When Inactive


When It Happens To You...
Have you tried clicking the < To make sure it's not just hiding?


The Next Time It Happens - Try This...
1/ Do Not Try To Open - NIS 09
Instead...
2/ Right-Click Your Taskbar
3/ Click On - Properties
4/ Click On - Notification Area
5/ Click On - Customise
Now... In the top half of the little window... Look For - NIS 09
6/ Click On - NIS 09
And From The Drop Down Menu...
7/ Click On - Show
8/ Click - OK
9/ Click - OK



No - Restart Required!

And Once Your NIS 09 Taskbar Icon - Is Back!
You are safe to open NIS 09 again :thumb:

Note!
You might have to repeat this procedure from time to time.
After Big Updates ::)


Hope This Helps! ;)

You can also give "Taskbar Repair Tool Plus!" a try if you're with XP...

(It worked for me earlier with similar problems with other apps...)

Thanks a lot for the repy, Zeena. However, the icon was not hidden; it just didn't show up. In any case, a reinstall fixed it. And osip, I use Vista, so I'm not sure if that program would work.

I appreciate the reference in any event. I've frequented kellys-korner before but never ran across that one. Disappearing notification tray icons pester me once in a while (without hiding inactive) and I'd never run across a solution, so I'll check it out.8)
