Where do I change Malwarebyte's settings

[Rykmann]

Where do I go to change the settings so that Malwarebyte's will ignore the .reg and .scr files?

ISSUE: I keep getting the following detections, even after allowing Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware to fix them:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\scrfile\shell\open\command\(default) (Broken.OpenCommand) -> Bad: (NOTEPAD.EXE %1) Good: ("%1" /S)

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\regfile\shell\open\command\(default) (Broken.OpenCommand) -> Bad: (NOTEPAD.EXE %1) Good: (regedit.exe "%1")

SOLUTION: Most often when these two items return repeatedly it is due to the presence of an IOLO product such as System Mechanic. System Mechanic and other IOLO security products alter these settings from their Windows defaults. If you do have an IOLO product installed, it is best to simply change the security setting in your IOLO product so that it does not change the settings for .reg files and .scr files or that you simply have Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware ignore these particular detections. These entries are not actual infections, just system settings changes that are not set to their defaults, which is something that some infections will do to prevent .reg files and .scr files from executing, which is why Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware detects these items, since it has no way of knowing if the change was made by the user, an infection, or a legitimate software such as IOLO.

Greetings and welcome

All you need to do is perform a scan with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and then, once the scan completes, click on Show Results and then click once on one of the detected items to highlight it and then click on the Ignore button.

Do the same for any other detections you want Malwarebytes Anti-Malware to ignore and the items will no longer be detected during scans.

If at any time you wish to remove an item from the Ignore List, simply open Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and access the Ignore List tab then click on the item you wish to remove from the Ignore List and click Delete. You may then perform a scan and the item will again be detected normally, allowing you to have Malwarebytes Anti-Malware remove the item if you wish.
