Disappearing System Tray icon

Would anyone know why the MSAS icon randomly appears then disappears from
the system tray? Also, does the absence of the icon in the tray imply that
the "system agents" are not active?

I have been using MSAS with no difficulties since its intro, and this is the
one and only vexing problem I have encountered.

Thanks in advance for your help and answers.

I also get no tray icon even with the option unchecked
Click to expand...
in the program setup, though the program is running and
listed in task manager. I did get an icon initially, but
then it just dissapeared. Also, the last run date remains
incorrect even when the scan has run the night before. I
suppose that's why this is a beta program and free. Of
course S&D and SpywareBlaster are free as well and work
quite well when kept up to date! Hope there is someone
out there with answers.

runing ok but is it really? Help!
 
I tried this fix twice, and the icon returned for a short
while and then is gone again! Help!
 
Hello,

then it is really a XP problem,

I give a workaround for all th missing things there:
Go to:
C:\Windows\system32\
and look for systray.exe, right click on it and make a shortcut
from it, then move the shortcut to the common startup folder:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\StartMenu\Programs\Startup\

Restart the computer.
