PUP.Bundle.Installer.OI will not remove

[greenbergman]

Malwarebytes indicated PUP.Bundle.Installer.OI was present. I told it to delete it (2X), but it stll re-appears in scans.

It does not appear in scans by MSE or Superantispyware, and I haven't seen any virus symptoms on the computer.

(A) Could this be a false positive?

(B) Are there other steps I need to take? I've seen some manual removal instructions online, but am not sure whether to trust them and am not cond of messing with registry, etc.

Thank you!

Thanks Ron. Was about to pull together the info you requested, but first ran another scan, quarantined the file and rescanned and, behold, it's gone. Which probably means I'd previously something dumb, like not clicking the box before quarantining.

Still, interesting that neither MSE (including a full scan) or Superantispyware picked it up, and that I wasn't experiencing any virus telltales.
