Just checked and there's no history practically (only 1 entrance from a USB memory card from outside), because it only tracks scans and not shields, and because I always have shields up I never do full scans... so I can't know if it's responsible.
It probably doesn't even document it, if it wasn't windows itself then only option is antivirus action, isn't it?

I don't know but if this will happen again the first place where I'll look into will be Avast.
Sure is this come strange, because I may have skipped the warning once, but not twice.
If you want to be sure, add it to exceptions list if avast has this option.

Yes it has it of course, but I want to understand if Avast is the problem.

Are you sure windows didn't remove it as unused program?

Never heard of this thing... and I switch off the "auto cleaning" stuff in Win.
Also, it wasn't uninstalled: all the program folder was there, only the exe were missing.
Yes, windows sometimes asks if it can delete unused shortcuts at least it happend few times to me it doesn't uninstall the whole program, just the shortcut. 

But I didn't lose the shortcut, the shortcut was in the Start menu... the exe disappeared in the program folder.
Hmm...then antivirus had to do it probably, what one do you use? I know it didn't warn you but you may have overlooked it or it could do it without asking.

I use Avast since 10 years, never had a problem with it.
I'll check its actions history.
Okay, let me know then Smiley

Is it possible that your anti-virus is thinking Armory is a virus and removing it? Try seeing if Avast keeps a history of virus removals.

It didn't warn me at all.

Now, I reinstalled after uninstalling.
The new installation found the old wallet and is in INITIALIZING BITCOIN ENGINE, stuck there.

EDIT: Never mind, it finally begun syncing.

It's not the first time this happens.
I installed Armory some months ago, and I remember I found it somewhat cumbersome for my tastes.
After some time, I saw the icon missing.
Checked, and the program wasn't there anymore.
I uninstalled and ok.

Now, some days ago I reinstalled it.
Today I check: missing icon.
Check the folder: missing program.
Any idea?

I have Avast and never got any virus on my computer.
