Is this really a Trojan - or a false alert?

I get this from running Malwarebytes:
Registry Keys Infected:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Ext\Stats\{549b5ca7-4a86-11d7-a4df-000874180bb3} (Trojan.Agent) -> No action taken.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Browser Helper Objects\{549b5ca7-4a86-11d7-a4df-000874180bb3} (Trojan.Agent) -> No action taken.
My guess is it's a false positive - anyone any thoughts please?

Definitely an infection
Did you run a FULL scan or just a quick one?
Id recommend updating, running a FULL scan and post the log here:idea:0 -

Thanks - I'll do that.
The reason I suspected it to be a false positive is that it seems only to be Malwarebytes that picks this up, and after an extensive search of the net I can't find any link between these entries and any known trojan. Plenty of references to these registry key entries (all from Malwarebytes) but nothing to suggest what they are.0
