Corrupted Icon

[Losse]

Hi,

I love this program, but i have a minor issue.

I am running the free version in win7 64 on a new PC i just built last week. I have a corrupted icon. The icon looks generic and white. Its not even close to the MWB icon, not red, etc.

I uninstalled, reinstalled, and it didnt help.

I deleted the icon on the quick menu and the folder in the program menu.

Then i went into the explorer folder and i see that the main application file icon is also messed up.

Is there any way to fix this?

The program runs fine. Just the icon is messed up.

A few days ago it found a trojan and deleted it no problem.

Thanks

Please do the following to see if it resolves the issue:

Windows Vista and Windows 7:

• Click on the Start button and select Control Panel
  
• Click on Programs and Features
  
• Uninstall Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
  
• Restart your computer very important
  
• Download and run mbam-clean.exe from here
  
• It will ask to restart your computer, please allow it to do so very important
  
• After the computer restarts, temporarily disable your Anti-Virus and install the latest version of Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware from here
  
  • Note: You will need to reactivate the program using the license you were sent via email if using the Pro version
    
  • 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 post to ask and we'll explain how to do it.

(2 methods are described: 1 is a "manual" fix, the other is a batch file which accomplishes the same thing.)

I tried the uninstall clean reinstall but forgot to turn off AVG. Didnt work

I pointed malwarebytes to some other random wrong icon and hit apply. Then i went back and pointed it to the malwarebytes icon and it worked.

Hi, jholty:

Glad it worked -- just curious, which solution did you use?

(Did you manually recreate the icon cache, or did you run that batch file?)
