Adware.21Nova Found in Registry Key, possible F/P?

Hey guys, the latest MBAM update has started detecting this on my computer:

Apparently "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\PTECH" is a generic PlayTech registry key, which will exist if you install any PlayTech casino. There are a bunch of online poker sites that use the Playtech software engine, which makes up the online poker network called "iPoker". More info found here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Playtech. Anyways, I do play some online poker and have two of these sites installed (Poker Plex and NoblePoker), both of which use the Playtech casino/gaming software.

My question is, is there a chance that this detection could be a F/P?

FWIW, the last scan I did was on Dec 29th, and everything came up clean then.

If this is not a F/P, is this something I need to be really worried about? Will it pose as a serious threat to me or my computer?

And lastly, will quarantining and deleting this registry key cause any problems with running the online poker software?

Thanks for the help!

I did not delete or quarantine the infected registry key from before prior to this.

Any confirmation from the MBAM team would be awesome.

Anyways, Happy New Years guys!
