Can Malwarebytes hurt my computer registry?

It says that there are these log files and I am afraid to ask it to remove them.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Browser Helper Objects\{5d296211-80c0-d27a-d461-f06210b6f077} (Trojan.BHO.H) ->

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{5d296211-80c0-d27a-d461-f06210b6f077} (Trojan.BHO.H) ->

I hope someone can help.

    The other answer is bs. Place the items in quarantine. Malwarebytes is excellent. If you later find out that the detections were false positive then you can restore them.

    I use Malwarebytes on my computer, my work computer and any computer that I have to fix due to viruses and spyware!!! I have fixed alot of computers and generally Malwarebytes is the only program that can easily fix them. I have never had a false positive with the program. I would remove the file.

    First, I would suggest you backup your registry in case you need to restore it later. This is VERY simple. Click start and type regedit (in XP you need to click start then click on run then type regedit). Finally, click File then choose Export. Save the file.

    Now have the items Malwarebytes found deleted.
