Fluffyvoir Posted December 25, 2015 ID:1008853 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Hello, first off, I didn't see a bug report section, so if there's one I didn't see, please move this thread, or at least notify me of the directory so I know in the future.There is a bug with the self-protection module feature. There was a MBAM icon set on my desktop (it was a while ago, I don't remember if I accidentally did it, or if it just happened over a restart) and I was not able to delete it. It said I required Administrator permissions, even though I am already an Administrator. I tried deleting the icon though the Explorer directory too, as well as trying to from an elevated command prompt. Safe mode too through all the above attempts, still no success. After a bit of research, I found that several others have had the same issue, and they fixed it by disabling the self-protection module. I did so, and problem fixed itself. Is this intentional?

1PW Posted December 25, 2015 ID:1008855 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Is this intentional?Hello Fluffyvoir:Yes! What you are describing is not a bug but a mere fraction of what MBAM's Self-Protection Module does, while enabled, during its normal operation. Also, the current MBAM installation process will always write the mbam.exe shortcut you saw to the desktop. If you desire to delete or modify MBAM's desktop icon, MBAM's Self-Protection Module would first need to be temporarily disabled.

Fluffyvoir Posted December 25, 2015 Author ID:1008865 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Yes yardbird, that was me. And thanks 1PW. I'd lock this thread if I could, but I'm not seeing an option to. Or at least its not obvious enough. *nudges forum Admin(s)* Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
