PUPS.A from PrivDog

[Kaze]

Hey guys. This morning I scanned my computer and and turned out to have 144 or so PUPs all from PrivDog. So I went ahead and removed the PUPS. PrivDog was also uninstalled aswell. An hour or so ago I reinstalled an updated version of PrivDog and did a short scan and came up with 220 PUPS which I also deleted. PrivDog is not currently installed atm Here is the latest log from the last scan. Should I be worried? Do I need to change passwords? Help much appreciated!

Hi, There's nothing to worry about here though.

 

Sidenote, if you *do* want to use PrivDog, you don't need to delete it with mbam. By default, PrivDog is not checked for removal anyway, so it's users choice whether you want to remove or not, hence the PUP (Potentially Unwanted Program).

If you decide to keep/use PrivDog, you can just add it to your mbam ignore list instead, so it won't show up in future scans.

Awesome! Thank you
