    I have noticed that some programs that get installed on a computer do show an icon where the time and day of the week are on a computer.

    The arrow thing didn't work, but it's ok. There is an icon that says the name of the AV program I am using is on, but I think that icon is for another part of the program I am using.

    I tried the ALT+CRTL+DEL that you said to bring up the task manager. I looked in there, but couldn't find anything with the name of the AV program I am using. At this time I don't want to get a different AV program for the computer I use. I guess if there is a check mark where it says run at system start than it must be working. I was wondering if the AV program was in the task bar where it says the date and time would it say that it is running in the scheduled task or it would only say it is running if you did a scan with the AV program. I know right now that when the icon isn't on the task bar and I go to scheduled tasks it doesn't say the AV program is running. If it doesn't say it's running does that mean you are not being protected.

    PS I went back into the AV program I am using and saw that there is a check mark next to launch at system start. I unchecked it and than checkied it and restarted the computer. When I restarted the computer it did show the AV program icon, but than when I restarted the computer again it didn't have the icon anymore in the task bar. I wonder why it did that. I really really hope the program is protecting me. I guess if I really wanted the icon to show up I could always open the program as if I was going to scan with it and than it would show up in the task bar.
