Greetings and welcome .

This detection is normal on a 64 bit Vista system (and I suspect Windows 7 as well). The reason is because Microsoft decided to make that setting the opposite of what it is by default in XP, and because it is a setting commonly altered by malware, Malwarebytes' detects it. Eventually perhaps the devs will implement OS detection that will automatically ignore that setting in versions of Windows that have it set that way by default, but I'm not sure. For the time being you can safely have Malwarebytes' ignore the detection.

I hope I've been helpful, if you need anything else please let us know.

Thanks .
