Vista - MalwareBytes finds unrecognized "threat"

Last coupla days, since the update to Malwarebyte's 1.39 (for Vista HP x64), it's been finding this "threat"

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\{y479c6d0-otrw-u5gh-s1ee-e0ac10b4e555} (Generic.Bot.H)

Does anyone recognize this? Is it a false positive, or something I should allow it to "repair"?

Thanks!

Russell,
Get a second opinion.
Run SuperAntispyware & see if confirms what Malwarebytes found.

JMH,

Thanks for the reply. I've run SuperAntiSpyware and Spybot S&D, neither recognized it as a threat.

Can you submit this "threat" to Malwarebytes as a potential false positive?
Are you able to quarantine it until more info [ if any] becomes available?

I can, but have yet to do so, I'm hesitant to remove it, even temporarily to quarantine, until I know it's purpose. Which is why I asked the people I know who know the most about vista x64 first!

Zoloft,

When any Antimalware software detects something, I find it is always best to ask about it on their Forums first before taking any action. That detection is only a registry trace and probably not harmful by itself and possibly a FP.

LOL thanks Red, don't know why I didn't think of checking there, this place is just the first that comes to mind when I think of questions!

No problem, hope you get it sorted .
