Why does it keep returning?


Recommended Posts

I can't get rid of pup.Optional.Superfish every time I scan there's two of them and after i remove them they go but return again within a couple of days.

 

A apart from it being a potentially unwanted program i've no idea what it is, where it is, how i got it.

 

Can you help remove it for good please. Below is scan results after a full scan and the removal of the two pups.

 

Thank you

Debbie

Logs can be located by clicking on the History button. You can double click a log and choose to export in either text or xml file formats. In most cases you can simply click on the Copy to Clipboard button when the log is opened and then paste it back to a reply here on the forum if looking for help or someone requested you to post the log. Please do not post xml log files on the forum unless requested by a helper or Staff member. The logs are also stored in the following location by default for Vista/Win7/8 unless you move the path. C:\ProgramData\Malwarebytes\Malwarebytes Anti-Malware\Logs The path for Windows XP is: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Malwarebytes\Malwarebytes Anti-Malware\Logs
