You need to point it to the right location of that icon image.

No matter how and where I run Avast! from, the icon will be corrupted, so I believe its the .EXEs .ico file that was compiled into it when they made that applications fault. I suppose I will have to re-install it to fix it. Ran from desktop, Corrupted. Ran from taskbar with a pinned shortcut, Corrupted. Ran from taskbar (next to time and date), Corrupted. Ran from run menu, Corrupted. Ran from different path, Corrupted. Ran from Registry, Corrupted. Ran from different shortcut path, Corrupted... I'd like to see how to fix that. other than re-install, listen Inf, I really appreciate your help but I already know what your talking about and its hardly helping, no offense my buddy.

Have you looked inside the (Program Files) Directory and found the right folder for Avast in the programs folder? Does the program show the icon in the thumbnail?

Or is it only when you have it OPEN, that the active bar that opens up on your taskbar does not show the icon, and the actual program.exe does?

If it doesn't show up with the icon in the FOLDER. then all you have to do is show it the path to the .ICO FILE.

Delete the shortcut you have on your taskbar, and drag that program down to your taskbar to create another shortcut, and see if the icon appears. If not you can right click on it and change the icon in "properties" for that exe file. Sometimes it doesn't give you the option to do so, but I have coded an app in VB to do it for me on those occassions.
