Is this unusual?

Registry Data Items Infected:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advance
d\StartMenuLogOff (Hijack.StartMenu) -> Bad: (1) Good: (0) -> No action
taken.

I removed this which is the logoff option on the startmenu, and sure enough,
that's what it was. Had to put it back. [ I use it alot ]

Right click, select ignore. This is not a bug nor a false positive.
It's a VAC hijack point.

VAC is short for Video Access Codec, it's one of the first trojans that
would disable things, such as my computer, run, search, logoff.

So we detect that this is set, and tell you about it. Noobs don't
usually have these set, but more experienced users like you may, so we
suggest you right click/ select ignore.
