Thanks bernie - yes, know about that one. Guess what - MS Defender found in 3.3 at install time and quarantined it. And it hasn't gone away - Defender found it again in 3.5 (off the Piriform site) only yesterday!!

VirusTotal doesn't find it - but they don't scan with Defender Ψ² ESET reports it contains Win32/Bundled.Toolbar.Google.D

I think my taskbar icon issue predates that hack. But I do top to bottom weekly scans with the MS MSRT thingy, malwarebytes, and 2 of emsisoft, housecall, sophos, and defender. They've all been run several times since I've had this 'issue'.

This isn't a showstopper. But the way I use the taskbar (via the keyboard) I'm reliant on icons combining and remaining where I put them, which means the issue is uber irritating.
