Hello,

I'm using malwarebytes for more than a year now and every scan would come up clean or sometimes with some false positives. However with today's scan it picked up:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\P3P\History\bfast.com (Adware.BHO) -> Quarantined and deleted successfully.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\P3P\History\commission-junction.com (Adware.BHO) -> Quarantined and deleted successfully.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\P3P\History\fastclick.com (Adware.BHO) -> Quarantined and deleted successfully.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\P3P\History\fastclick.net (Adware.BHO) -> Quarantined and deleted successfully.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\P3P\History\kqzyfj.com (Adware.BHO) -> Quarantined and deleted successfully.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\P3P\History\linksynergy.com (Adware.BHO) -> Quarantined and deleted successfully.

I was curious and went to check this part of the registry and there were 100+ keys with names of many sites. Is this the part of the registry where Internet's explorer history is saved? Will it be OK if I delete all these keys here? I guess it will delete the history of Internet Explorer... but since it is a guess I'd need someone to confirm :huh:

Hmm when I took a better look at the keys, all of the names are some sites I've never visited O_O
odd

Please update MBAM and scan again; this should be fixed now:
