Roguekiller detects PUM but not Malwarebytes

[blankfist33]

Recently had Pup.optional.Spigot.A detected and removed by Malwarebytes, but an additional scan by RogueKiller detects 13 PUMs in the registry. I have no way of knowing if these are false positives since Malwarebytes doesn't detect them. Here is the list: Anyway to determine the validity of these PUMs. I have no bad processes or other malware symptoms. I have several personalized desktops and custom performance settings and I wonder if these are related to those desktops. I've attached the full roguekiller log.

No need to do anything. MrC

Thanks, I thought these were probably not an issue, but when I registered for the roguekiller forum nothing happened so I thought I check-in here since Malwarebytes successfully removed my most recent threat.

 

thanks for your help

OK.......

Take a look at My Preventive Maintenance to avoid being infected again. (also HERE)

Good Luck and Thanks for using the forum, MrC
