Just got the PUP.Optional.DriverUpdate result

[moreau]

This file came up yesterday morning after my nightly scan. I clicked to remove it and restarted. Then, not sure if this was coincidence or not, but the power went out in my computer room and when I restored power, after booting up, I got the blue screen crash dump thing. Was able to do a system restore to a previous point after several tries and my system worked fine all day. Then this morning, the same file was found by Malwarebytes. So, I thought I'd reach out. Not sure if I should remove it again or what steps to take next.

I'm not an advanced user, but can follow instructions well. I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium on my Dell Inspiron 660S.

I'd appreciate any help or suggestions you may have.

Many thanks,

Richard

Hi,

I am waiting for Farbar reports.

[moreau]

Just downloaded the Farbar file...sorry, but how do I get it started and run the reports?

 

[TwinHeadedEagle]

Simply click Scan and it will create two reports. Attach them into your next reply.

Here they are...

FRST.txt

Did I do this correctly?

Can you export what MalwareBytes detected? You can find it in History tab.

Here is the log. I also ran the JRT from Malwares and did a restart and another scan, this time the PUP file did not turn up. Not sure if this is the right log...let me know if I need to export from a different time.

Also ran Windows security essentials, full scan and nothing came up.

Thanks again for your help

Malwarebytes scan 10.10.txt

I need you to export Scan log that shows what was detected.

[moreau]

This should be the one....the PUP file has not come up on subsequent scans.

Yes, it is probably in accordance with latest MalwareBytes PUP policy:

Your computer is clean.
