I set it to the middle one, "Don't notify me, but display the icon." Now I still want it to bark if the virus definitions aren't updated. I'm pretty sure AVG does, but a few times over the years I have notices it just goes from the color tray icon to the black and white - something people around here won't notice and alert me. |

Maybe there is a registry hack, but I don't know yet. |

| | Re: Disabled UAC - what abut the red shield icon in the tray? There is no easy answer, you can only get close. The order listed I listed the sites are as close to relevance as I could get them. Sometimes there just are not simple answers to simple questions.
