Bama--if you go to Help, About, in Windows Defender, what is the topmost
version number listed? If it is less that 1.1.1347.0, you'll need to do a
new download of Windows Defender, and just run the download to update the
version you have in place. This will change the name of General Settings to
Options, and, when you scroll down in Options, you will find the option to
show the icon.
