Hi guys,

I ran MalwareBytes quick scan and it found 4 scan results. 1 of which I removed immediately (windows police pro) because I have been hit with that before so I was familiar with it. But these other three I am not. Before I delete and quarantine them I would like to make sure that it is ok to do so. this is how the three are listed in the results:

1)backdoor.bot file C:\windows\system32\~.exe

2)malware.trace registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\fias4051

3)Hijack.controlpanelstyle registry value HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\currentversion\Policies\Explorer\ForceClassicControlPanel (under other-Value:ForceClassicControlPanel)

I am also currently using Comodo Internet Security. And it is showing threats as well. This is what it has listed which I believe is the same as the backdoor.bot listed above:

C:\System Volume Information\_restore{88A9728D-068D-4BE5-99BD-49CC3FD4BC94}\RP1\A0000173.dll TrojWare.Win32.TrojanDownloader.Small.~AAAA@66690958

C:\Windows\System32\~.exe Heur.Packed.Unknown

Should I have Comodo remove it as well? How is it that this keeps making its way thru? Last time we were hit we did step by step removal and have added Comodo. It's frustrating! Also, so I don't have to keep bothering you guys, if Malware brings up a threat is it ok to just go and quarantine it? Some time back I did that with AVG(when I had it) and it deleted an important file from the system because I guess it was a false positive? In that case, how do you know?

I will wait to hear back from you as to what I should do with the results. Thanks.
