I am missing the convert to pdf and snagit icons from my upper toolbar. If I right click the toolbar all I see is the options standard buttons/address bar/links/lock the toolbars and customise only.
Adobe should be available for me to tick to show and snagit should automatically show up on the toolbar alongside the links.
I have uninstalled/reinstalled both programs but ie toolbar still shows neither. Can anyone advise how to get these back as I use them a lot.

Ah - I've sorted the problem.....the long way round!
I can trace the culprit back to Comodo which seemingly thinks that Adobe and Snagit are malware. I do trust comodo and if it says it has found something and decides to quarantine it or block it then I take what it advises as gospel.
The other day I did a full scan and let Comodo do what it wanted and about that time my icons vanished.
I am NOT a comodo expert as regards to tweaking or allowing programs so I sorted it the long way round. I removed snagit and Adobe and reinstalled both to desktop (without installing either) I then typed msconfig and checked my running programs which were dvd43 and comodo.
Next step was to download adobe and snagit and reboot.
Then I went back into msconfig and checked the adobe and snagit as a start up programs plus comodo and dvd43.
After that step I opened Comodo and chose firewall/ define a new trusted application/ file groups/startup folders and the start up folder which correctly showed dvd43/comodo/adobe/snagit.
I rebooted and went into ie and clicked the top toolbar and could then see adobe and snagit were available to be ticked which I did and they are now back on my upper toolbar.
Comodo certainly works BUT my big problem is in setting it up correctly and I so wish that a comodo expert here would create an installation/set up guide assuming that a CIT member downloading the program is 50% computer literate in the first place.
Possibly a long winded method of sorting the problem but I wanted to share how I sorted it out because it might be applicable to anyone else who installs Comodo and does a full scan then finds that their trusted applications/icons vanish or no longer work.

Have you downloaded and installed the full Comodo suite? If so, then I can't help you any further, as all I use is their firewall, and I only used to use that on my laptop, which now has W7 on it.
Maybe someone here has used the full suite from Comodo, but I don't know anyone who has yet.

Its best to have it set to Learning Mode Von. Then when you want to install something, it will ask you what you want to do. You then select Installation Mode and tick the box to remember your answer. After a few minutes of finishing the installation, it will ask you if you want to go back to Secure Mode. Then if something tries to install itself, you will know and can denigh access. Anything you install, will then be treated as safe. It knows about the major apps, like Avast, SAS, MBAM and the like and will allow them to update without bothering you. It can get on your nerves a bit in the beginning, but it soon learns and at least your safe. Once you are all up and running, you can just switch over to straight Secure Mode and only switch to Installation Mode if your going to install something. You cant accidently leave it in Installation Mode, as it will remind you soon after the installation is finished. Just remember to tick the boxes, for it to remember your answers and it will soon learn whats what.
