I'm a relatively computer savvy person. On my laptop I run Vista premium w/ UAC enabledI use Avira Antivir for an AV. I don't use any realtime AS ( turned defender off). I'm incredibly careful about what I install on my system. I don't surf porn, use p2p clients, or download warez. I use Firefox for a browser w/ Adblock plus and Noscript.
That's why today I was surprised to find a malware detection by MBAM. A lone registry key that I could not find much information about online. Here is my MBAM log.
