Hi Spam Hunters, OK, the Free vbersion is shown now. Thanks I had stopped the trial version refering to an other post (Freeware or Trialware from Dec. 07). Regards fred2stroke

Hi Spam Hunters, Thanks a lot, your recommended solution worked well ! I have performed an Hyper Search, no malware found. During installation German was selected but after installation I had English. I have successfully changed the language to German. I had downloaded the Free version but, after installation I see everywhere Trial ? What have I to do to change it in a Free one ? Regards, fred2stroke

Impossible to start this evening MBAM updated on Dec. 08. After the update i could perform a scan of my PC => no malware detected. See attached prints (exerpts) What have I to do? Thanks in advance for your help. Regards fred2stroke

Hi miekiemoes, hi Fatdcuk, as I have announced on the 17th of October, I made yesterday a "quick scan" between the download and the installation of the Windows Updates from November, this for several computers and one laptop. For the different systems MBAM did not detect any PUP. On all my machines the Windows Updates could be realized without problems. Kind regards, fred2stroke

Hi miekiemoes, hi Fatdcuk, Thanks for your replies. Under the present conditions, considering the provided information, I can only agree with your statements. Nether the less it is very strange that on booth systems of my pc (equipped with a plug-in module which enables to change the disk "C" when the system is shut down. I have two different disks, one with XP Pro 32 and one with W7 Ultimate 64). For both systems have observed a similar behavior. In fact I've observed that the process of windows update (in the hot phase, e.g. after download and before installation was stopped when the when «PUP.Optional.BundleInstaller.A» that had been detected by Free MBAM ("manual" quick scan) was put in quarantaine (and deleted). The example from W7 has been shown as information. For W7 when I wanted to restart I had the supplementary choice "Install the Updates and Shut down" or "Shut down without Installation of the Updates". I selected "Install the Updates and Shut down" but there was no Update installation. For XP the situation was a little more complicated because I had still remaining problems (PUP.Optional.Conduit.A) as I have detected it after the fact by a full scan. PUP.Optional.Conduit.A was apparently installed as I had installed DIVX. "Conduit" could be totally removed using Free MBAM. But also for XP when I made a "manual Quick Scan" between the download of Windows Update and the installation of Windows Update the Symbol "Update ready for installation" disappeared from "Information bar" (right side on the bottom of the screen) exactly when I removed the PUP which was detected. In November, when "Windows Update" will be available I will test if that phenomenon will occur again. In this test I will also include two other machines, both with XP Home 32. I will inform you about what I have observed. As I am not at home in the update period of November you will get this information a little bit later. I would be happy if your statement can be confirmed!

Hi Fatcuk, Here after you find the MBAM log with the concerned "PUP" put in quarantaine (and later on deleted). I have added also a pdf of a screen print which shows the "Service Pack 2 for Microsoft Office 2010" wich was not installed during shut down as choosen. (I had made this choice, proposed when I tried to restart in order to really delete the "PUP" as requiested by MBAM) This "Service Pack 2 for Microsoft Office 2010" was installed later on using "Windows Update" of Internet Explorer. I hope this can help you, Regards, fred2stroke mbam-log-2013-10-16 (22-58-13).zip Update did not work - worked only when using IE.pdf

Based on two different systems XP 32Bit and W7 Ultimate 64 Bit and on what i noticed today: - it seems (if I am not wrong) that malwarebytes now identifies some components of the Windows Update (eg "New updates available", ...) as (PUP.Optional.BundleInstaller.A). In fact I have noticed on W7 that after having deleted some files identified as PUP and tried to shut down W7 proposed a shut down with installation of updates but no installation occurred. Finally I was able to update my system using Windows Update of IE. I detected a similar situation after having run on XP the quick scan and I noticed that the advice symbol for a "New updates available" disappeared when i put a PUP file in the quarantaine. Here also I saved the situation using the Windows Update of IE. 1) are these assomptions right ? 2) would it be possible to identify the PUP's which are elements of Windows Update as "part of Windows Update" ? Thanks in advance for your answers, Kind regards fred2stroke
