« on: January 04, 2014, 10:48:06 AM »
Hello, 
I try to kill  "PUP.OPTIONAL"  with the soft called  "antimalwarebytes"    It is not easy.
My question is  "How do you explain that AVAST  does not show those malwaere ?

Best regards

A "PUP" is not a virus or malware. It is a potentially unwanted program/item.

Malwarebytes reports it but at present fails to remove it correctly.

avast PUP scan is default off in all scan exept boot scan....

when you scanned / detected with Malwarebytes, was it marked for removal ? ...did you click the remove selected button after scan ?

if you need help removing it, follow instructions and attach logs  http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=53253.0
