Malwarebytes indicates my Chinese Umi E Plus has this PUP and recommends removal. However, when I try to remove I get message that UpgradeSys is a system app and cannot be uninstalled. Indicated it should be Disabled. When I try to do that UpgradeSys Disable is greyed out How can I rid myself of this pesky PUP? Thanks,

Excellent, quick, response that I will follow through upon. Thank you, John K

I've been having problems with "MsMpEng.exe" using nearly 100% of disk activity over hours and days of use. So today I've switched off Windows Security Essentials (aka Windows Defender). However, this obviously leaves me a little exposed. So with Defender switched off I was just running Malwarebytes Pro and Windows Firewall on my Windows 8.1 laptop for security. I've now downloaded Avast Free and am in the process if setting this up. Is there anything I need to do from the Malwarebytes perspective to ensure smooth running with Windows Firewall and Avast Free? Thank you, John K
