Alright, so im in the clear then?

If so, my final questions is concerning SAS. . .
I've been using Spybot, is this a better product?

if virustotal says its clean then it may be clean.(generally, since the file will be scanned using 40+ scanners)

spybot has not kept with the current threats(as many say) but sas is a good product when compared to spybot(as many say).

Run MBAM again and remove this item.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\NoActiveDesktopChanges (Hijack.DisplayProperties) -> Bad: (1) Good: (0) -> No action taken.


Also try and run SAS.


DON"T REMOVE THIS , IT IS NOT A VIRUS IT IS SIMPLY TELLING YOU TO CHANGE THE REGISTRY FROM A 1 TO A 0

It doesn't actually remove it I believe, but sets the registry to the good value.

I dont think removal would hurt, regardless.

But maybe, would? are there any issues with this entry?

I believe I did remove this earlier on, and I've not experienced any negative effects
