Norton AntiVirus 2009 Tray Icon

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?

 

I had the same problem give a reboot to ur computer it will work

 

Try this. 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...).

 

Ditto that problem and the exact same solution on two of my 6 machines last night. Must have been an install glitch in the recently released update(s) I did, but all seems OK now.

 

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


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

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.
