PUP.Optional.FrostwireTB.A


Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

I updated free MBytes and did a scan and its detecting two of these in my registry ;

 

PUP.Optional.FrostwireTB.A

 

I since read that this can be caused by ask.com and i did a search in my start menu and its showing ask.com in my - old Firefox data, which i deleted to recycle bin , but a scan is still showing those 2 items in my registry. I have no signs of Frostwire in control panel. I cant seem to get a log file to look at on this new MBytes. I've got a little Acer Aspire One so maybe i cant see the buttons to access the scan logs?

 

I havent been able to find out if this is a dangerous threat from past threads on here, so is it just a mild one?

 

Hoping someone can help.

 

Thanks
