MBAM reported something which i am Doubt infected

I installed MBAM first time on my PC

i did a quick Scan and it found 1 infection which i dont think is a infection but still to be sure here is what it reported :


Registry Keys Infected:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\itunes.exe (Security.Hijack) -> No action taken.


Any advice on this ?

 

Navigate to that key in Regedit. If it is a security hijack you'll see a REG_SZ named Debugger and Data will show the path to some malware file. Otherwise it's just a fp.

 

thx for your reply ... i do see a debugger but path is of tune up utilities which is secure i guess .

here is screenshot :

 

If you are sure the item is perfectly OK, then copy it and put in the MBAM Ignore List. I had the same problem with a SpywareBlaster registry key, where MBAM said it was a threat - it was not. Once I put it in the MBAM Ignore List all future scans were OK.

I assume that you have Tuneup Utilities installed and that you've had it deactivate iTunes. The debugger entry would be required to reactivate iTunes (all its related services etc). So just add that detection to MBAM's exclusions.

 

correct, thats what i have done
