PUP.Blabbers

[oldgunny]

This poped up as malicious software after scan. (PUP.Blabbers) Can anyone tell me what it is? Did search of forum but came up empty handed.

Hi and welcome, oldgunny:

Take a look at this recent topic >>HERE<< and this recent post >>HERE<<.

It is a PUP (Potentially Unwanted Program) that -- in and of itself -- is probably not malicious.

You may have inadvertently installed it when it came bundled with another program.

Having said that, if you are concerned that you could possibly be infected, because you are experiencing abnormal computer behavior (browser redirects, popups, crashes, slow-downs, error messages, internet connection issues, etc), then it's possible you could be infected with other, more dangerous pests.

If that's the case and/or if you would like help removing PUP.Blabbers, then please print out, read and carefully follow the instructions in the "I'm Infected - What Do I Do Now?" article.

Then please start a new post in the Malware Removal Forum.

An authorized, trained malware expert will provide free, one-on-one assistance to check and clean your computer, as soon as one becomes available.

Thanks!

Gunny,

It would help if you listed the detail "filename" and complete-folder-location reported by MBAM for this item.

PUP is shorthand for potentially undesirable program.
