What do the Netfury Icons represent?

The Windows taskbar contains an area near the system clock for programs such as The Netfury Accelerator that are designed to always be active.

The Netfury Accelerator icon has several "states":

Icon State	Image	Meaning
Enabled		When running and enabled The Netfury Accelerator icon depicts a red 'N' icon.
Active		When actively sending or receiving information or other data to the Internet using HTTP, the 'N' alternates between red and blue.
Disabled		When The Netfury Accelerator is disabled, the 'N' icon has a red circle around it and a line through it.
High Speed Connection Detected		The Netfury Accelerator is not active when you are connected to the Internet using a high-speed connection.
Subscription Expired		If the free trial period or paid subscription has expired, The Netfury Accelerator icon is changed to reflect that fact.
Temporarily Unavailable		A special state can occur if The Accelerator is temporarily unavailable. A grey 'N' appears to let you know that Netfury Accelerator is still enabled, but your Internet experience is not being accelerated.

Note: The Netfury Accelerator icon may not immediately reflect state changes. This is normal. For the most accurate and up-to-date information run The Netfury Accelerator diagnostics.
