PUP.Optional.MonteraToolBar.A- is it a malware?

[sten2]

Today when doing a full scan using Malwarebytes Pro, it detected these files: 

 

C:\Program Files (x86)\Check Point Software Technologies LTD\zonealarm\1.8.3.16\zonealarmEng.dll (PUP.Optional.MonteraToolBar.A)

 

C:\Program Files (x86)\Check Point Software Technologies LTD\zonealarm\1.8.3.16\zonealarmEng.dll (PUP.Optional.MonteraToolBar.A)

 

C:\Program Files (x86)\Check Point Software Technologies LTD\zonealarm\1.8.3.16\zonealarmEng.dll (PUP.Optional.MonteraToolBar.A)

 

C:\Program Files (x86)\Check Point Software Technologies LTD\zonealarm\1.8.3.16\zonealarmEng.dll (PUP.Optional.MonteraToolBar.A)

 

I could succesfully remove these files, but i have some questions about what this PUP.Optional.MonteraToolBar.A is.

 

I am using Zone alarm Antivirus, so i am wondering if it´s the case that Malwarebytes removed a legitime part of the Zone alarm Antivirus, or is this PUP. Optional.MonteraToolBar.A a real malware, and i did the right thing removing it? 

 

I have not being able to find any info about this, so i am hoping that someone at this forum could help med regarding this, then i would be grateful.

Thank you for the help!

 

Then Malwarebytes did a great job detecting these files and it was the right thing to do to delete them. I have done another full scan with Malwarebytes Pro, and this time it did not detect anything so i guess the malware is now permanently removed.

 

If it should appear again, i will post here for further advice.

OK.......

 

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

 

Good Luck and Thanks for using the forum, MrC
