Default BUG: False Positive on scan


I ran a scan on my machine this morning and found the
scan incorrectly found adware. The issue is that the
registry key we have is a valid key. The noted threat is
actually in a different location in the HKCU key.

The following is the scan detail on the problem.

Hopefully this will be fixed.
