Interesting thing this afternoon, I did my daily MalwareBytes scan and it never finds anything on my system since I started using it years ago...today it finds 6 PUP's all of which seem to be Microsoft programs as far as I read it.
Can anyone with more knowledge than myself on REGISTRY keys tell me from what I've posted if this is a false positive?
I really don't want to click clean and have it bugger up legit programs...
As always,thanks in advance!!
Here's the findings..
