Greetings,

I couldn't find much about it, but it seems that entry is related to the Media Player Codec Pack, so if you've installed that, then that's where it came from.  It appears only a few security vendors detect it at the moment so it most likely is a false positive.  You can see a VirusTotal scan of the file here.

Yes i have installed Media Player Codec Pack, but then both results are for the same reason? for the packs?

Probably yeah, or just the fact that it's a not too commonly installed file.  @Elisabeth and/or @fr33tux could one of you take a look please?

They both work on ADWCleaner and should be able to determine pretty quickly why this is being detected.

This is from a very old 2014 entry. Basically, the program should not have altered that key. No, it's not dangerous to your computer it's more a warning. If you're happy with it then leave it be and ignore it. It was part of a rule to remove items long ago.

If it's not dangerous can i add those links to the ignore list for they do not appear in further analysis?

@AdvancedSetup basically answered your question in the part you quoted

You can see how to ignore the detection, in the KB article below...

Thanks for your answer buddy but in this case i'm talking about malwarebytes adwcleaner,  the process it's the same?

[exile360]

You can exclude any item detected by ADWCleaner by right-clicking on it in the scan results and selecting the option to ignore it.  This is also made easier by the fact that detections are grouped by family, so if multiple detections came from a single program having many traces/components detected, you can right-click on the parent entry and exclude it along with all child entries below it.
