Where was the folder located? I've seen more than a few people come
in to the group asking about this and it would be good information to
have for the next request...


It's odd that renaming a folder could change a registry setting...
unless there is a program in memory that monitors the folder and makes
the registry change. I suppose MBAM could be reporting a false
positive based on what it thinks the registry entry would be if the
folder existed... which seems to me to be a bug if that's the case.

Thanks,
