Is this a false-positive?

[Wilbso]

Hey there, 

 

So, I ran a quick scan earlier, and it said there were 4 PUP's. However, these looked like false positives to me, however I'm not entirely sure.

If you could help me out that would be muchly appreciated!

Hi,

 

These aren't false positives.

Please see here what PUPs are: https://forums.malwarebytes.org/index.php?showtopic=130207

Hi,

I already read that, but thanks anyway.

The thing is, I don't really understand how they get on there, and how bad they are and what they might do. What do i do now? Do I put them in quarantine?

The ones you have are "install wrappers". This means, it's software that bundles other software with it that users probably might not want, but end up installing it anyway because these bundles/offers are prechecked in the install screens + often advertised as recommended while these aren't needed at all.

These aren't malicious, just unneeded/unwanted.

It's safe to quarantine what mbam found - it won't affect anything.
