malware byte FP ?

just run a scan on my wife’s laptop and found this, I guess the key is legit and I got an FP:

Registry Data Items Infected:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Start_ShowSearch (Hijack.StartMenu) -> Bad: (0) Good: (1) -> No action taken.

the laptop is running on Vista home/premium 32 bit

I didn’t take any action yet, what’s you thoughts, ignore or not ? thanks :wink:

I guess it’s an FP:

sent it to the ignore list.

Its old and has been beaten to death by exile360 and many others.

yeah, but I got it today for the first time so ::slight_smile: …and never heard of it before. Not keeping any updated agenda of FPs and malware here ;D

…although I do admit that launching a search with the registry key here brings results, but I googled first instead…and found a thread…on MB forums :smiley:
