  1. Many thanks for your very quick response. I have tried out what you have said, but cannot find any trace of the file removed in the Quarantine section. I remember that subsequently, following the detection, I deleted the file concerned from the Quarantine section. For future detections I have followed your advice and checked any PUPs for removal in the results page under Scanner Settings.
  2. A quick scan of my computer with Malwarebytes Free revealed seven infections in 4 registry keys, 2 registry values and one file, all infected with PUP.Dealio.TB malware. A copy of the log is attached. When trying to remove this malware, I forgot to check the boxes of all but one of infections identified, before clicking the "remove" button. As can be seen, the message shown in the log for the six infections I forgot to check before clicking the "remove" button, show as "not selected for removal" (these apply to the 4 registry keys and 2 registry values infected). The one item for which I did check the box shows the message "quarantined and deleted successfully" (this applies to the 1 infected file). Many subsequent full system/quick scans have not picked up this malware again. Can you please advise whether or not the PUP.Dealio.TB malware has been removed from my (rather ancient Compaq laptop), and if not, what action needs to be taken to have it removed. There seems to be, at this stage, no noticeable deterioration in the speed of my laptop, although because of its age (bought in 2002) it is somewhat slow anyway. I use Avira Anti-virus Free and XP Home SP3. I would like to add that Malwarebytes is a really great piece of kit (I am seriously considering buying the pro version for my desktop which runs Avast! Free) - keep up the good work!
