Every time I ever ran MALWAREBYTES to get rid of adware and such, this would ALWAYS show up and come back right after I delete it.

What the heck is this? I've been ignoring it but now its got me worried.

I'm not sure whether or not it is definitely a virus, but have you tried scanning with any other software?

AVG

But AVG is for virus mainly, malwarebytes is for spyware/adware.

Really can't say from that screenshot and its information. Perhaps the log you can save will tell us more?

Besides, how do you think malware scan result has anything to do with Programmer's Haven?

And in your title you say "Is this a virus?"
Hard to know if you know what you're talking about or not, when you're sending mixed messages.

VIRUS: a piece of code that is capable of copying itself and typically has a detrimental effect, such as corrupting the system or destroying data.

Get out of here if you are just going to be rude and stupid.

That didn't contain anything useful I'm afraid. Next I would suggest checking the Registry Value of that key, if it is what AMB is telling you that it is. If it's not, it might give some more information why it's considered malicious.

You're not making much sense, you said AVG is for viruses and AMB is for malware, yet you think what Anti-MalwareBytes found is a virus. I'm not being rude (unless you think it's rude to let you know you're in the wrong), nor stupid (that one's on you)

Again: How do you think malware scan result has anything to do with Programmer's Haven?

Are you kidding me? I just said this. Just stop and troll some where else.

I found the issue, and infact that was enough information for anyone who knew basic programming.

My mistake for asking in a kid forum.
