f-secure icon (task bar) without any functions

[vmac]

Hi,

since today the f-secure icon in the taskbar (right corner) doesn't work anymore. No context menu, no start of the f-secure interface. The desktop icon works fine.

What happened?

How can I "refresh" the icon without booting the pc?

Thanks for the help.

(Windows 8.1. x64)

To be honest, I think rebooting the PC would be the first step towards any diagnostics.  Come back to us when you've done that, if there's still a problem.

Did the reboot help? Or, if it's the very first time, you are using F-Secure, then it CAN also be because when the computer is just started, it will take a bit time for F-Secure to get to work. Just wait only a few seconds - then, F-Secure is up and running. It has allways been a bit "slow" after starting the computer...

Thanks for the answers. After booting the PC the problem did not reappear. Maybe it was an isolated case.
