  1. Hello everyone, my name is Arnold. Two days ago I bought a new Acer ES1-131 laptop and after removing most of the OEM crapware I today decided to run a full Malwarebytes Anti-Malware scan. To my surprise, the software reported to have found a Trojan.Trace.Agent in the file "regedit.log". I searched for information about it on the internet and noticed that there were other users who also reported a similar infection, e. g. https://forums.malwarebytes.org/topic/181844-trojanagenttrace-found-in-regeditlog/ https://forums.malwarebytes.org/topic/186531-possible-infection/ However, I have my doubts whether this really is an infection or just MBAM heuristics acting up. Before I let MBAM quarantine the file I decided to take a look at it and noticed that the file creation date was 12.11.2015 so way before my purchasing of the laptop. I also uploaded the same file to VirusTotal and the detection ratio was 0 / 53 https://virustotal.com/en/file/fd1490528bb4af472f09817f3d5ec6b0dd4919c1d8b26f24bf546cb188158640/analysis/1470377582/ However, even though on VirusTotal Malwarebytes reports regedit.log as clean, after I tried removing the file from the quarantine and scanning it again, MBAM again returned a positive. The PUP extension thing from Amazon in Firefox reported in the log was installed by Acer by default. Just to be on the safe side, could a more knowledgeable person please look at the logs and determine whether it is just a false positive or if there really is something fishy going on with my laptop? I also attach FRST logs with all the options checked and the regedit.log file itself. Please advise me about any additional scans I should perform to check if everything is alright. I appreciate your help in this matter! Arnold BTW. I was not sure if I should post in the False Positives or Malware Removal Help section of the forum so I apologize if I chose incorrectly.
