Avira.

Since upgrading to 10 the umbrella is closed and the pop up says its stopped. The main box says activated. Whats the difference? How do I get the umbrella to open if its important.
I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.

    Double-click on the tray icon. In the Overview/Status section the first line of mine says 'AntiVir Guard'. To the left of it is a large green tick, to the right it says 'Activated'. To the right of this is a link that says 'Deactivate'. If I click this the umbrella closes and the link changes to 'Activate'. Try clicking the link, even if it says 'Deactivate', and then perhaps once more to try and activate it.

    Alienriks plan worked thanks, now to get the autoupdate to actually find the files then I'll be ok. Can do a manual update but prefer auto.
