Nikilet Posted September 11, 2019 ID:1334238 Share Posted September 11, 2019 My scan detects a slew of PUPs. It looks to me like most are maybe related to browser extensions. Anyway, I'm not sure what to do. If I quarantine, will that crash the extension or leave it inoperable? mbam scan results.txt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinf80 Posted September 11, 2019 ID:1334269 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Hello Nikilet, PUP.Optional.SearchManager is a search function hijacker, it will monitor what you are doing with your browser Chrome, I strongly advise that you remove all of those entries identified by Malwarebytes. When that is complete reboot your system, then make another scan to see if that nuisance has returned... Thanks, Kevin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
