Solve : Should I allow MBAM remove 1 result??

1.	Solve : Should I allow MBAM remove 1 result??
Answer» I'm learning how to use VISTA. After I downloaded HJT I couldn't find it. Everything was easy to find on the desk top with Win XP. So when I first tried to download HJT in Vista I thought I messed something up and so deleted it. Now that I know how to find it in vista I will download again. In the meantime, I downloaded MBAM and it came up with this result: see log. Seems HARMLESS but what do I know. What should I do with it? Thanks, T [Saving SPACE, attachment deleted by admin]It doesn't matter. If you use active desktop and you want the ability to CHANGE it then let MB change the setting to 0 (which is what will happen if you say "yes, delete"). Otherwise tell MB to ignore it. Either way it's not a big deal.if it found any thing take it out , its as simple as thatQuote from: harry 48 on November 07, 2009, 02:34:26 PM if it found any thing take it out , its as simple as that Well no, it's not. MBAM (and other spyware checkers) often mistake registry changes made by the user for changes made by malware. In that case you tell the app to ignore the entry. You should NEVER let a spyware checker delete entries arbitrarily - same as a "registry cleaner".i don't think the "ordinary person" would touch their reg; i have seen it said here never touch it , i run sas , mbam and ccleaner every wk and never look just hit delete but i know what you mean You don't have to manually edit the registry to make a registry change. Every time you change any sort of preference or option in a program, an entry in the registry is changed (with the exception of those programs that still use .ini or similar preference files).

I'm learning how to use VISTA. After I downloaded HJT I couldn't find it. Everything was easy to find on the desk top with Win XP. So when I first tried to download HJT in Vista I thought I messed something up and so deleted it.

Now that I know how to find it in vista I will download again.

In the meantime, I downloaded MBAM and it came up with this result: see log.
