PUP . Here: Google Chrome

[Nick7766]

Hello and good day!

I tested Malwarebytes for the first time today. The test run detected 10 items. All of these elements concern Google's Chrome browser and are located in the AppData/Local/Google/Chrome/User Data/... directory.

See also screenshot.

I'm not entirely sure what to think of this result. Is this really a PUP?

thnx for helping in advance.

Good morning @JSntgRvr,

Thank you very much for your feedback. But as a first step I would be interested to know whether this is actually a PUP. Google Chrome synchronizes its settings and saved links between different devices. This is also the case with us between PCs, laptops and mobile phones.

I suspect that these entries are not a PUB at all but a false alarm.

Can anyone here confirm this?

If that were the case, you could save yourself the entire effort described above...
