Hi, Spybot 1.4 [up-to-date] works fine under Vista [32-bit Home Premium]. Totally as expected. AVG 7.5 also installed.

However once Office 2007 [any flavour] is installed, the icon for Spybot defaults to the standard Windows unassociated file icon, and cannot be repaired. This error is reproducible with Office 2007 Home & Student, Business and Pro. I am installing from the standard Office OEM Master Kit discs if that makes a difference. Any ideas anyone?

The SpybotSD.exe file also appears to have no associated incorporated icon anymore, although teatimer, blindman and update still do.

Have now reproduced this on Home Basic, Premium, Business and Ultimate 32 bit. Testing 64-bit tonight.

Office 2007 installer appears to strip the icon from Spybot exe file. Shortcut still present, just no icon.

Bumped for great justice...
