I've recently scan my computer with Malwarebytes and 9 detection files shown up as PUPs. The log is below Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (Trial) 1.75.0.1300www.malwarebytes.org Database version: v2013.10.29.10 Windows 7 x64 NTFSInternet Explorer 9.0.8112.16421PhongAsus :: PHONGASUSPC [administrator] Protection: Enabled 10/29/2013 8:07:30 PMMBAM-log-2013-10-29 (20-22-53).txt Scan type: Quick scanScan options enabled: Memory | Startup | Registry | File System | Heuristics/Extra | Heuristics/Shuriken | PUP | PUMScan options disabled: P2PObjects scanned: 203086Time elapsed: 7 minute(s), 1 second(s) Memory Processes Detected: 0(No malicious items detected) Memory Modules Detected: 0(No malicious items detected) Registry Keys Detected: 0(No malicious items detected) Registry Values Detected: 0(No malicious items detected) Registry Data Items Detected: 1HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main|Start Page (PUP.Optional.Conduit) -> Bad: (http://search.conduit.com?SearchSource=10&ctid=CT3220468) Good: (http://www.google.com) -> No action taken.

(end) Shouls I worried about these detections? I've heard that PUP may not be malicious, but this is still concerning to me.

I've just recently connected to Steam and Malwarebytes detected the IP that Steam connected to as malicious activity. When enter the log, it displayed the following message: 2013/10/18 10:11:24 -0500 BEAST Phu MESSAGE Starting protection2013/10/18 10:11:24 -0500 BEAST Phu MESSAGE Protection started successfully2013/10/18 10:11:24 -0500 BEAST Phu MESSAGE Starting IP protection2013/10/18 10:11:25 -0500 BEAST Phu MESSAGE IP Protection started successfully2013/10/18 10:41:16 -0500 BEAST Phu IP-BLOCK 58.241.15.179 (Type: outgoing, Port: 61233, Process: steam.exe)2013/10/18 10:41:16 -0500 BEAST Phu IP-BLOCK 58.241.15.179 (Type: outgoing, Port: 61233, Process: steam.exe)2013/10/18 10:41:16 -0500 BEAST Phu IP-BLOCK 58.241.15.179 (Type: outgoing, Port: 61233, Process: steam.exe)2013/10/18 10:41:16 -0500 BEAST Phu IP-BLOCK 58.241.15.179 (Type: outgoing, Port: 61233, Process: steam.exe) When I tried to connected to Steam again, Malwarebytes allowed it to process, so I presumed that Steam connected to a different IP and Port perhaps? Is this IP a false positive?
