System tray icon

Once Active Virus Shield is installed, an icon appears in the system tray.

The icon states indicate Active Virus Shield operations and reflect the state of protection.

If the icon is active

(color), it means that protection is enabled on your computer. If the icon is inactive

(black and white), this means that your protection is either fully disabled or some protection components are temporarily disabled.

The Active Virus Shield icon changes in relation to the operation being performed:

	e-mail being scanned.
	script being scanned.
	a file that you or some program are opening, saving, or running is being scanned.

The icon also provides access the basic program interface: context menu and the main window.

To open the context menu, right-click on the program icon.

To open the Active Virus Shield main window on the Protection section (this is the default first screen when you open the program), double-click the program icon. If you click once, the main window will open to the section that was active when you last closed it.
