Hello i recently upgraded to Windows 7 Home Premium (clean install), and i also just recently installed MBAM when i scanned my computer it came up with 2 infections (listed below)

Hijack.StartMenu and Hijack.DisplayProperties

nothing feels wrong with my computer it runs fine so i was wondering if i should remove both or just ignore. Any tips/info would be great.

Thank you all for your time.

Please post a copy of the scan log so that I may see the exact detections.

For the Hijack.DisplayProperties entry please take a look at this thread.

The Start_ShowSearch indicates that the Search option is not in the Start Menu which is quite normal for Vista and 7 since Microsoft was forced to remove it by Google in the anti-trust lawsuit. You can safely have Malwarebytes' ignore both of these detections as they aren't directly malicious and are quite normal in the operating system you're running .
