    Welcome to MGs!

    We already have been telling everyone here that it is a false positive.

    Thanks, I have come by MG's often...well...usually when I have problems...and with PC's that CAN be often.

    That is why I didn't post before...I followed all the steps and read many posts and figured I was like the others with Fp's.

    I also found this on another help page (not sure if I should really copy & paste on here)
    I didnt get a reply from lavasoft (as I have the free version, but found this reply helpful

    *copied & pasted from another URL*
    Here is the reply I received from Lavasoft today:

    Dear Customer,

    I would first suggest you make sure you are using the latest build of Ad-Aware. Look in the lower right corner of Ad-Aware SE and it should say "build 1.06r1".

    Second; make sure you are running with the latest definition file. The name of the latest definition file is displayed to the right of our main page at ยปwww.lavasoft.com/

    The third thing to do is to perform a Full system scan. Before you perform the scan, please do the following;

    Start Ad-Aware

    Click on Settings (Gear button up in the right corner)

    Click on Tweak

    Expand the "Log files" option

    Enable "Include Module list in log file"

    Click on proceed.

    Click on Scan Now

    Please deselect "Search for negligible risk entries" as negligible risk entries (MRU's) are not considered to be a threat.

    Now you're all set to perform the full system scan.

    If the problem still persists, Please reply to this e-mail with the latest logfile from a full system scan attached.

    Regards

    I have also referred them to this URL and string to see numerous other people getting the same results.

    Well they just have not admitted that they have a problem yet. Many of the registry keys they are detecting are standard valid registry keys with default values.

    They have a False Positive problem and sooner or later they will admit it and fix it.

    The problem began after the latest reference file update.
