When I switched on the pc and attempted to open a folder by double clicking, It opened by single clicking and carried on opening continuosly. I then googlee for the cause of folder opening up constantly then I found that mount points shoul'd be deleted using regedit. So I deleted it then when I switch off the pc and switch it onn again. The issue comes back and mountpoints2 is still there. I've searched on google for a solution still have not found how to get rid of this permanently even used youtube.

Look in Task Manager startup tab, see if find anything unusual starting up or type in run command MSCONFIG and look at services tab for non microsoft service running.
Some instances show it as a worm. Did you fully scan the system yet ? What are you using to do so ?

MountPoints2 is a registry entry that stores data to USB devices, such as USB keys and removable hard drives.
The MountPoints2 registry key contains cached information about every removable device seen so far.
When doing registry change, do you have any connected USB devices and did ever have any issues with any ?
If this is not what is says it is and then is a infection, will need people who are experienced in removal of such.
Malwarebytes found 2 already, what other scans did you run ? Try at run command mrt.exe and do full scan with Windows Malicious Removal tool. Can try this
If this is a true infection and is not solved by other means not being an infection i can provide you with an alternative forum to make sure you are clean, then you can go from there.
