    It looks like this?

    It's not malware... it's telling you that Windows won't warn you if you have no firewall or antivirus installed/running.

    I get too and disreguard it.

    No, it was a glitch in one of the previous Malwarebytes' version, and the newer version is simply running a fix for it.

    That screenshot was taken using version 1.35, which I believe to be the most recent.

    What I am trying to say is that the screenshot mentioned by Train:

    http://discussions.virtualdr.com/att...4&d=1238516335 ,

    was posted by me in the thread:

    http://discussions.virtualdr.com/sho...d.php?t=238094

    That screenshot was taken using Malwarebytes' version 1.35, which I believe to be the most recent.

    And, as you mentioned a glitch in one of the previous Malwarebytes' versions, I concluded that what you wanted to say was that the warnings shown in that screenshot were the result of that glitch.

    Now I believe that it was the other way around, i.e. that the glitch consisted in not showing those warnings.

    Am I right ?

    Sorry for the misunderstanding.

    No problem at all.
    What happened, one of the scripts ran by some the previous Bytes version was incorrect, and it was unnecessarily changing couple of registry entries, so whoever ran that earlier version, had couple of wrong registry entries on ones computer.
    They discovered their mistake few months ago, and added new script to Bytes to correct previous mistake.
    I hope, I explained it clearly enough...LOL
