Malwarebytes takes longer to show up on desktop icon


Recommended Posts

Hi,

This is not a really big deal, it might even be normal, but I've noticed that ever since the latest update, the Malwarebytes desktop icon takes longer than usual to appear on the icon tray after start up. Although, everything else seems to be in working order apart from that.

My configurations are:

(1) Windows 7, Home Premium

(2) 64-bit

(3) HP DV6

(4) Malwarebytes Pro

(5) Avast Internet Seurity

  • After the computer restarts, temporarily disable your Anti-Virus and install the latest version of Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware from here

    • Launch the program and set the Protection and Registration. Then go to the UPDATE tab if not done during installation and check for updates.
      Restart the computer again and verify that MBAM is in the task tray if using the Pro version. Now setup any file exclusions as may be required in your Anti-Virus/Internet-Security/Firewall applications and restart your Anti-Virus/Internet-Security applications. You may use the guides posted in the FAQ's here or ask and we'll explain how to do it.
