False Positives: Windows 7 from XP

[Moogie]

Bit of a strange one i just reinstalled my operating systems, dual boot windows xp and windows 7.

I use a registry fix to hide the files on the windows 7 partition (D:) but malware bytes can still scan files.

The windows 7 operating system has been installed and left pretty much untouched

On doing a full scan malware bytes went on to scan D: and classified what i believe are key operating system files as malware.

Enjoy the log.

Hi,

It's because of the extra tweaks you have done for your D partition (most probably locking them) that mbam has misdetections. Mbam shouldn't detect these normally. In your case, you can safely ignore what malwarebytes detected.
