Potentially Unwanted Modification


Recommended Posts

Hello,

I just scan my computer and it says I'm infected but I don't know if that's really true.

The name of the threat is PUM.Optional.DisableShowMyComputer and it's a registry value located here:

\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS\CURRENTVERSION\EXPLORER\ADVANCED|START_SHOWMYCOMPUTER

What is this and what should I do?

Hello @christus and :welcome:

That simply means that something changed the default setting on your computer. With no other detections I'm sure it safe to exclude this detection if you like and you're the one that changed it.

You can let Malwarebytes change the value back to the default value that it shipped with from Microsoft if you like.

PUM = Possibly Unwanted Modification
