7201 Adware On Install ?

I just did a clean install of 7201 and am going through the process of setting up my toys just the way i like them .

Unfortunately after running a Malwarebytes scan i have found 6 reg keys infected with ad-ware , So after deleting them i ran a scan with Spy-Bot and found another item of ad-ware on my w7 partition.

See attachments below for full details.

Seems very odd that i should have them on my notebook as its a "clean install". I did use IE8 briefly to set it up the way i like but all my security was inplace before hand.

Do you think these could be false positives/possible bug Ive inherited from the the shortcuts i transfered from 7137 ? Seems unlikely because i do regular scans and i always get a clean bill of health. (Hence why its so odd to me)
Any help/suggestions much appreciated as I'm curious as to whats happened please ?

Thanks for the advice lol.

Hi all
Sorry to disappoint you -- it's not so much the browser itself as to what you run in it.

Also NEVER EVER run those programs that offer to scan your registry or fix your drivers from a Browser.

This is the EASIEST way ever of getting an infected system. If you must run these wretched type of programs (they are usually sneakware -- you get things like problems found but you need to "upgrade" to a PRO (i.e PAY) version to use the feature you want) run then stand alone first (i.e from an .EXE file having scanned it carefully first).

Switch off all things like accelerators etc etc in Browsers -- ideally have as few plugins as possible -- with the speed of the Internet these days it doesn't take much longer to download a file such as a PDF / HTML or wahtever and run it in stand alone mode on your PC in a dedicated application.

Same (or especially true) for multi media files -- run these also from within a dedicated application and not within a browser.

Cheers

Someone from MajorGeeks forums claims they are false-positives. Apparently if you check the reg keys and they have the data value of 5 then everythings ok.
