Yes, finally. Seems to be clean on the clean machine. Thank you.

yes. busy week at work. maybe get to it this weekend.

Yes, I try to keep a clean machine(s). there are four computers in two locations syncing the same data. might be a bit before I can find time to reset all of them at the same time.

doh! did not think to look there. now scan is clean. thanks again!

I saw that. According to chrome://extensions, Torrent Search Google chrome extension is not installed on any of the computers that sync to my Google account.

Excellent! upgraded other home computer to 3.4.4. scan. no threats found. thank you for your kind assistance!

OK. here is the report from the problem computer. ScanReport.txt

I have 3.3.1 installed on a computer that had the PUP problem. now it is fixed. want to stay with version that does not have the problem,. where can I find MalwareBytes that does not have the PUP problem? 3.3.1?

apparently I did not keep the installer. where can I find MalwareBytes that does not have the PUP problem? 3.3.1?

sorry. wrong computer. that computer has 3.3.1 which does not have the PUP problem. I will try to find the installer to use on the problem computer.

attached. ScanReport.txt

I'm sorry., I got lost after the first paragraph. How do I fix this problem?

read through some of the posts but this - Chrome Secure Preferences detection always comes back - is WAY more than I want to get into. I have four computers and a phone connected to my Chrome data. sorry but the suggested solution is not. will either ignore the warnings or find a replacement tool. is there a version of MalwareBytes somewhere that resolves the problem until a real fix is available?
