ClamWin Free Antivirus :: View topic - How do I turn on the ClamWin icon back onto my system tray?

Posted: Sat Jul 14, 2007 5:22 am

I exited it once and now I don't know how to put it back on.

I restarted my computer and it still won't show up.

The easiest way to fix this would be to run the installer again (no need to uninstall first).

that will reinstall everything and overwrite it right? If so i rather not. Whats the purpose of the system tray icon again? I mean I can still use it when I just open up clamWin whenever I want to scan right?

The purposes of the ClamTray icon are :
- executing scheduled scans
- executing automatic virus database updates
- periodically checking for new versions of ClamWin

If you are familiar with altering registry settings manually, you could also add

Code:

"""{app}\bin\ClamTray.exe"" --logon"

to the Run section of Windows (either in All Users or Current User), so it automatically starts. Replace {app} by the clamwin folder (normally c:\program files\clamwin).

I don't need scheduled scans. So for the virus database updates and new versions of ClamWin I can always do that when I open the program regularly correct?
