AdwCleaner Registry Key Detection

[LinkinForcer]

Hello,

 

I ran a scan of my computer with AdwCleaner and this popped up.

 

Is it a false positive? I know I have had to tell Malwarebytes to ignore a few files I have used to mod some video games I have. The files are safe but Malwarebytes doesn't like them. I'm not sure if this registry key has anything to do with them or not.

 

Any help would greatly be appreciated!

 

The following is what comes up on the AdwCleaner detection, I've also attached an image of the detection:

PUP.Optional.Legacy

Registry Key:

HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\\Classes\CLSID\{8BF0126F-A5B7-4720-ABB2-2414A0AF5474}

From my understanding this registry key is only an orphan/leftover of simpliclean

It should have no real effect on your computer if you remove it or leave it.

Cheers
