NIS 2011 system tray icon

I've just installed NIS 2011 as an upgrade to my previous NIS 2010 (using the automatic download and install route).  Everything went ok as far as I can tell, and it restored all my Identity Safe data as well.

 

However, one small difference I noticed, compared with NIS 2010 ... When the NIS icon appears in the system tray towards the end of my pc's start-up sequence, it seems to have what looks like a grey circle containing a diagonal white bar in the bottom right hand corner of the icon.  It only changes to a green circle with a white tick after quite a few seconds.  During this time, I cannot launch NIS.

 

This never happened with NIS 2010.  As soon as the icon appeared in the system tray it contained its green circle with a white tick and I could launch it straight away.

 

Is this normal behaviour for NIS 2011?  Also, am I still protected during this "grey circle / white bar" phase?

 

I'm running Windows XP SP3.  NIS 2011 version is 18.1.0.37.

 

Regards,

Thanks Yogesh, that's reassuring.

Did a clean install of NIS 2011 yesterday, did all tweaks, registered, updates, full system scans, reboots and I still have the grey circle with the white slash.

Moved to new thread for better exposure.
