AVG PC Tuneup 2016 tray icon problems

Using the latest version of AVG Performance (Zen+TuneUp 2016) and the taskbar tray icon seems to be very slow to update (change its status). It quite often has the red or yellow icon, when there is no actual problem to report. If I start AVG TuneUp (the main interface), no problems are reported but the tray icon still remains red or yellow.

This was sometimes a problem with v.2015 too, but when the main interface opened, the tray icon updated immediately. Hope you can fix this, even without having to open the main interface.
