Malwarebytes just updated to the latest version and ran a flash scan and said a Legitimate Windows Registry Key was a Trojan.Agent.

Log is attached. Malwarebytes PRO version 1.61.0.1400 update version v2012.06.14.01.

Thank you.

I can confirm that deleting/quarantining said registry key stops various applications running, or at least automatically running after reboot! :-( Fortunately restoring the key resolves the situation.

I'm still getting a trojan.agent detection for the run key under HKCU. Its empty there's nothing there. The only thing I had there was the startup key for Sandboxie, which was removed the first time it was detected.

Edit: Fp seems fixed now, Thanks :)

Latest version is: Database version: v2012.06.14.04

Your code where shown was Database version: v2012.06.14.03

Thanks
