How do i Know what is a false positive

[Recycle]

Hi am new to using Malwarebytes but something doesn't seem right, there is no way i have new Malware issues on my computer everyday as malwarebytes says i do, do I? I presume it has to be false Positives but worried if i delete them it will harm my computer, then again if i keep them i could be putting my computer at risk, I'll post malwarebytes finding its given me for today and hope someone can tell me if its false positives or not, the feedback will be appreciated.

Hi,

 

We don't really detect this as malware here, but as a Security Hijack. This because programs have been added to the IMAGE FILE EXECUTION OPTIONS key.

Please read here for more info about that key and why this is a security risk: https://forums.malwarebytes.org/index.php?/topic/147426-tuneup-utilities-2014-false-positive/?p=823631

It might be possible that in your case, you also have TuneUp Utilities installed that has created this key instead. So in that case, you can safely ignore these detections and add to your whitelist.
