Vista - Question About MalWareBytes

I scanned today and found one malware/virus thing in my Registry Folder (it was called Hijack.*something, I forget*. I went into the Quarantine tab and deleted it.

My computer's running fine, but did that delete the infected registry file? Does this create issues, and if so can I restore it?

HijackDisplayProperties, by any chance?

It won't cause any problems if you let mbam do it's thing.

Yes, that was it. Is that an infected registry file or just a virus?

...And are you saying I shouldn't have deleted it?

No, it is just a setting that only seems to be set to 1 on 64 bit.

It looks like the kind of thing malware might do, so mbam changes it back to 0.

Registry Data Items Infected:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\NoActiveDesktopChanges (Hijack.DisplayProperties) -> Bad: (1) Good: (0) -> Quarantined and deleted successfully.

Doesn't appear to do any harm.

You will find the mbam log here:

"C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Malwarebytes\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\Logs"

Appdata is hidden, so go to Folder Options and Show Hidden files.

This is what it looks like in the Registry :

Hi, i can reaffirm from personal experience that it is not for concern as SIW2 has stated.

Does deleting it put much less stress on the computer? Now that I've deleted it, by coincidence or not, I've noticed I can run games like Garry's Mod and Left 4 Dead without the fan even going on full, and my computer's not as hot.
