MF4Pro Flagged Registry Entry as a Threat (Entry Doesn't Exist?) [SOLVED by removing from database of IMF]

[bnjroo]

This morning, MF4 ran a scan, and came up with the following:

 

IObit Malware Fighter

 

OS: Windows 10

Version: 4.0.3.20

Database Version: 1530

Scan Mode:AutoCare-Idle

Time Elapsed: 00:08:47

Objects Scanned: 66374

Threats Found: 1

Save Time: 3/18/2016 7:43:02 AM

 

|Name|Type|Description|ID|

Fraudtool.Hijack, REG, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\regedit.exe, 2005785

 

I went to the registry, but the key doesn't exist. Here's a screenshot:

Just to followup, I hit "Cancel" on the removal screen, and ran another scan. "No threat found," go figure. Oh, well.
