Possible False Positive, Registry Entries


rtot

Recommended Posts

Yesterday I did a fresh install of Windows 7 and it was fully patched through Windows Update before I did any searching and installing of new programs. The computer is behind a router and the Windows Firewall was active before going online to download updates. The only programs that I downloaded were downloaded from the program's official sites, so I don't see how I could have become infected. I downloaded the following: Malwarebytes Anti Exploit Free, Malwarebytes Anti Malware, Panda Internet Security Free Trial, Firefox with the add-ons NoScript and Adblock Plus. These are all reputable programs that I doubt contain any PUPs bundled. I scanned the computer with Malwarebytes and it finds two registry keys that it says are PUP.Optional.MySearchTB.A. Are these false positives? I have no faith in my fresh install now, so I appreciate any insight on these findings. Please see the Malwarebytes log below:
