Greetings T.Durden (I loved Fight Club )

If you're running Vista or Windows 7 you can safely ignore this detection. The reason it gets detected is because it is normally set to 0 on XP systems and having it set to 1 (the Policy Restriction enabled) prevents you from making changes to the Active Desktop settings. In Vista and 7 Microsoft decided to make this restriction the default. In the past, malicious software had been known to enable this policy restriction and that's why Malwarebytes' detects it.

To take care of it perform a Quick Scan with Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and then click on Show Results and click the detection to highlight it and then click on Ignore. Malwarebytes' will no longer detect it in subsequent scans.

If you need anything else please post.

Thanks

Nothing wrong with being paranoid, it just means you know how bad infections can be . I'm glad you got everything sorted .
