Latest update and now the ICON is locked?

[Kep1a]

I did the latest update to 2.0.3.1025 and accidentally let it create a desktop icon and now I can't delete it, move it or change the permissions in the icon properties so I can. As the only user on this PC it makes no sense that I can be locked out of a simple icon move or removal.

 

Any ideas?

 

Otherwise MBAM works fine.

Hello and :

 

It sounds as if you have the MBAM Self-Protection (SP) module enabled.

Dashboard > Settings > Advanced Settings > remove the checkmark from "Enable Self-Protection Module".

The SP module is explained HERE

 

Please let us know if this resolves your issue.

 

Thanks,

No that did not correct the problem. It still says I need permission from the adminisraitor to change it. When I try to edit the permissions it does not allow it there either

 

I could not find this thread agai so I started it again. plese delete it as only one thread on this is needed.

Hi, again:

 

(Mod team -- the duplicate thread is here: https://forums.malwarebytes.org/index.php?/topic/159710-mbam-icon-issue-2031025/)

 

If disabling the SP module didn't work, then you may want to please start here -- please be sure you are logged into Windows from an Admin level user account:

• Please follow the steps in this pinned topic to uninstall your current version of MBAM and reinstall the latest build - MBAM Clean Removal Process 2x
• If that does not correct the issue, then please read the following and post back attached to your next reply the 3 requested logs - Diagnostic Logs (the 3 logs are: FRST.txt, Addition.txt and CheckResults.txt)
• NOTE: There is an FAQ section with valuable information located here - Common Questions, Issues, and their Solutions

Please let us know how it goes.

Thanks,

Yes that worked fine.

Thank you.

 

Weird that it did that

Excellent!

I'm glad that everything is working properly now.

Thanks for letting us know.

 

Take care,
