    Malwarebytes discovered the following registry item on more than one occasion. Any idea what this item is about?

    PUM.Optional.NoDrives, HKU\S-1-5-21-2521311373-2542757604-1943815622-1006\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS\CURRENTVERSION\POLICIES\EXPLORER|NODRIVES, No Action By User, [14165], [293339],1.0.3841

    Should I be concerned or just quarantine this item and not worry about it?

    Unless you have set a policy where you want drive mapping turned off in Explorer, I would quarantine that item.

    Note: This topic should be in one of the Malware Help forums.
