    I recently installed SpywareGuard. I noticed that when I double click on the icon on the desktop nothing would happen. The only way I could open the program was to click on the SG in the systems tray in the lower right corner. That was fine until one day the SG was not there. I finally ended the task and uninstalled the program. I reinstalled and the same thing is happening. I started up my computer and the SG was gone. So I restarted and fortunately it came back. Any ideas whats going on? Should the program not start when I double click on the desktop or in the program files at least.(This doesn't work either!!! o_O)

    Thanks, but what do I do when it doesn't show up in the systems tray like before? Just try rebooting my computer and hope that it comes back?

    Hi Tally Ho,

    Take a look at the thread linked below, it describes a problem that some people have had with the SpywareGuard systray icon ( SG ) not always showing up properly...

    https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=18537

    Now, the only time it is really a problem, (assuming you check and see that the two processes are up and running in the task manager even though the icon is not visible), is that when you want to reconfigure SpywareGuard, you'll need to take the steps noted to recover the icon in the systray.

    If you don't need to make changes to SG's configuration, not having the icon visible should not be too much of a problem. Unfortunately, there is no total solution to this issue at the moment, so the above is mentioned as a work-around if you wish to keep using SpywareGuard.

    Thanks for the info! I'll check it out. I was concerned with not being able to check the reports or reconfigure if I couldn't open the program, but hopefully this will be the solution. Not nice having to reboot your computer time and again. Thanks again. :)
