Yuri,
I am using RC3 (I just downloaded RC4) on an XPSP3 machine. Within the last few days I downloaded and installed the Sophos tool to solve the .LNK issue that has come to light in the past fortnight. It was my understanding that if something DID trigger the Sophos tool, it would bring up a handler dialog. Although I have NOT seen that, I HAVE had issues with TLB since the install.
On the first instance, I tried to add a menu. ALL the icons in TLB disappeared EXCEPT the ones for two plugins I am using (calculator and port monitor). A reboot resolved the issue. Two days ago, I tried adding and then renaming a shortcut. The disappearance of icons happened again.
Since I had done each of these things many times over the last couple of months, I have only two suspects here. Either it is the Sophos tool or I am already infected with something via the rather large hole in Microsoft security. I am loathe to re-expose myself to the issue and the AV runs tell me I am clean. Thus, I leave the situation as is, knowing a re-boot (never a terrible thing, if time-consuming) will 'fix' things.
Just thought you should know.
