  1. Then I'll choose to ignore, thanks for the quick reply.
  2. On my company desktop running Vista, when I log in with my standard user ID and run Malwarebytes I always get a positive on the following registry entry. Registry Values Infected: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\DisallowCpl\1 (Malware.Trace) -> No action taken I can delete it but it comes back with the next reboot since it is a Group Policy entry. If I look with Regedit I can see that this entry is to disable "autoplay" on my PC which is standard on all our company system configurations. I had another user run Malwarebytes on their system with the same registry entry and they show no infection. My system shows no infection when logged into with another ID's. Why me and not others? Any ideas? Off a McAfee forum ( http://community.mcafee.com/message/110103 ) I saw this remark in an entry: Additionally the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\DisallowCpl\1 entry "detected" by MalwareBytes also is not necessarily caused by Malware. This can be configured by Group Policies and othe rsoftware as well. Not saying there wasn't something malicious on the system that set this at one time, but also are other reasons for this. With MalwareBytes not detecting other malware on the system (other than the false detection above) leads me to believe that this is likely just a bit of over-aggressiveness by them as well.
