I can run Anti Malware Bytes and receive 2 instances of the above stated malware. I remove them and run again the next day and they are back in the same registry keys. Below is the log file of Anti Malware Bytes that I ran in developer mode.

I get a similar problem. Is this a false positive? Any further action required please?

Recently keep getting broken.open command for piffile shell, Is this a false positive? Keeps recurring even when removed

Thanks

Hello and welcome.

This setting is actually something which was changed by another piece of security software and is only detected because of that. You can either add it to your ignore list or allow it to be quarantined. There will be no negative affect on your system either way.
