MalwareBytes finds Spybot problems?

[junksasa]

I ran MalwareBytes and it found these Security Hijacks (2 of I know are associated with Spybot). Are they really Spybot problems?

Hello junksasa,

Could you please report them at the malwarebytes forums.

I have contacted MalwareBytes. Their response is:

In this particular case, the detection is because of the type of data entry, an Image File Execution Option. This is causing programs that are running normally to be directed into other processes. This type of action is almost always used maliciously. As I mentioned, you can ignore them during the scan, but if you'd like to temporarily quarantine them we can see if it has unexpected results. If so, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware is capable of restoring the quarantined item. There are no current conflicts with Advanced System Care that I am aware of.
