This is a follow-up to my earlier post made about 15 minutes ago.
I tried your method a second time and after rebooting my computer, I had to do the following:
1. I clicked on "Dash Home" icon on the Launcher.
2. A window pops up. On the "Search" row, I typed in the word "symantec" (without quotes).
3. An icon for Symantec Antivirus showed up.
4. I right-clicked on it and the window changed to Symantec Antivirus with a button called "Launch" (without quotes)
5. I clicked on the button and viola, a small icon appeared at the top right hand corner of the screen, on the horizontal menu bar.
6. Right-clicking the small icon on the top right hand corner of the screen gives you two options: "Open Symantec Antivirus" or "Exit".
I wish to add that after I rebooted my computer twice, the small icon was still docked on the horizontal menu bar.
