Re: Why stupid F-Prot has two icons in the system
Ah! That is why I didn't see two icons when I had F-Prot. I immediately turned off the scheduler. I always do that with any AV. I don't schedule any scans. I do a scan when something happens to make me feel it is needed. I haven't fully scanned this XP box in six months.

Friendswood, TX | Heck two icons are nothing, DrWEB has three of 'em. But each does serve a purpose. Curious to see what the new DrWEB 4.33 has in store. Maybe a new facelift...wait and see... |

No, you missed the point. The scheduler is not only for regular scan, it's for regular update too. So you must always make sure it is running. |

Hilo, HI | Hmm...well I only had F-Prot for a 30 day trial about nine months ago. Maybe I have just forgotten and I did have two icons. |

| I am pretty sure that even if you hide the icon, the scheduling and updating service is still working. You can access them by starting f-prot in full mode. I agree that it would be nice if all f-prot functions could be accessed via one tray icon, but maybe that will come in the next realease, whenever that is. |
