Recently installed product. Very happy, but have minor issue:

When I restart my computer, only a limited number of icons show up in my
system tray. Several are missing (although Task Manager confirms they are
running). If I load another program after startup is complete, it appears
in systray as normal. Everything seems to run fine, just missing some of
these icons (which are enabled to show at startup). Any suggestions or is
this common behavior with new AV programs?

It's pretty common behaviour with WinXP, if that's what you are using ..
assuming, of course, that you haven't hidden them yourself (right click
taskbar, properties, make sure 'hide inactive icons' isn't ticked).
Usually happens after explorer crash though .. does a logoff/logon
restore them (not a reboot, just a logoff)??

Google will find you lots on this .. maybe even a few fixes.
 
After seeing numerous posts (via Google) on disabling uPNP Services, I
decided to try this option first. It worked! My icons are back.

Juan, that's an XP 'irregularity'. You can fix that! It has something to
do with conflicts in the order things load. Go to

Do the Ostuni workaround. Worked for me too!
