Just installed Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and got this on my quick scan. Is this a false positive? If not, is it anything serious?

I don't think that it is a false positive. Malware can change your settings and make these results come up. The other reason they can come up is if you changed your settings.

Have you recently been infected (as far as you know) by a virus, trojan, malware, spyware, or anything like that? and.or have you changed your firewall/antivirus/any other security settings on your own?

Please, check and make sure that your firewall and anti virus protection is on!!

I have had this result come up before. If you choose to remove it, make sure immediately afterwards you check to make sure that your firewall and antivirus is on and that all settings are correct!

I can't really advise you further than this so hopefully someone else will step in and help you out with this :)
