Recent Emsisoft scans are detecting the following: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS\CURRENTVERSION\POLICIES\SYSTEM -> DISABLEREGISTRYTOOLS detected: Setting.DisableRegistryTools (A) Is this Malware or is it safe? Can it be White Listed? Thank you

Thank you Elise

Kevin: I appreciate your prompt and professional response. Allow me to apologize in advance but I do not know what "white list the detection" means. Could you kindly tell me in layman's terms what this means and the steps I should take in performing this action? Thank you.

Using Emsisoft I repeated get the same infection and seemingly no matter how many times I send it to "Quarantine" it rears its ugly head within a couple of days or so.
