nov1 Posted September 27, 2016 Author ID:1064271 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Previous to removing the PUP, I must say I had no sign of any infection at all. Also, I scan on a regular basis, and the PUP seemed to have just appeared out of nowhere. Also, If it makes any difference to the situation, it was listed as a 'Registry Key' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

exile360 Posted September 30, 2016 ID:1064739 Share Posted September 30, 2016 No, PUPs generally don't present any real threat and are typically just potentially annoying more than anything else. As long as your scans are coming up clean you should be just fine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
