Malware bytes minimizing?

[KageyboyHaiden]

Alright so yesterday AVG and Malware Bytes detected Adware and 2 Trojans on my computer and they got rid of them fairly easily but when I click on the Malware Bytes icon on the toolbar after I look at a scan, it minimizes into the hidden icons? Is this a sign of something bigger or is it just a thing Malware Bytes does? I'm just a little bit concerned that's all. I can simply open it up again and the scan is still running.

Hi:

 

MBAM 2.0 minimizes to the system tray now, not to the task bar.

 

Does that explain the behavior you describe?

 

FWIW we have requested that the program minimize to the task bar during a task (such as a scan), and/or at least that there be an animated task bar icon, so that users can have some indication of program (scan) activity.  I have no idea when or if these RFFs might be adopted. 

 

Cheers,

Oh I feel a lot more comfortable now, I think I get what you mean. Thank you

You are most welcome.

There is an FAQ Section here: Common Questions, Issues, and their Solutions
And here are links to the MBAM 2.0 User Guide: Online and PDF
And there are many useful KB topics and videos at the helpdesk support page

 

Thank you,
