Frequent list no longer displays icons in Windows 7. Links work ok, though.

Noticed this issue a few days ago with my home laptop. Thought it was a problem with my computer, but this morning I found the same issue with my work PC. Searched the forum and found 2 users are having the same issue. Still no apparent fix. I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit at home, 32-bit at work. Links, however, work all right.

The culprit of this was an antivirus. If I misunderstood, please see these other solutions:

I'm having this problem with 2 different computers, both running different editions of Windows 7 (64-bit and 32-bit), and both running different antivirus software (MS Security Essentials and Symantec Small Business Edition respectively). I don't think the problem is the antivirus in this case. As for the other suggested solutions, the issue is with the "frequent" jump list in the Start menu, not the toolbar. And only with the Firefox jump list. All other jump lists show icons ok. I've also tried resetting the icon cache (IconCache.db), but the problem remains.
