• Microsoft Security Essentials icon, absent from the taskbar after restarting Windows XP

  original title: lack of Windows XP icons after restart

  After that I restarted my antivirus, Microsoft Security Essentials icon is missing from the taskbar. It also happened when I have ESET NOD32 installed. When I disable the SSDP Discovery Service, in the section of the Admin, it will appear. But when I go back and set it to automatic, it will still be absent.

  For all that is you probably not need to have running SSDP Discovery Service, for security reasons almost always disable this service on any system that I put in place.
