After installing Malware bytes free version and a reboot the home group icon appears on my desktop, only to disappear a couple of screens later. Anyone know why?

✔ Best Answer
That icon has a knack of appearing on Windows 8, not particularly due to MalwareBytes. This is how you normally fix it (although the coming and going symptoms are unusual):

Go to Control Panel > Personalization > Change desktop icons.

Uncheck "Network". If it is already unchecked then check it
and Apply, then uncheck it and Apply.

Always pop back and let us know the outcome - thanks
