Win32:PUP-gen [PUP]
« on: August 16, 2012, 07:40:50 PM »
Ran Avast scan and came up with the above in C:\Program Files\Anti-Virus Elite woth a file size of 1711776, and which I hv not used in some time.  Prior to the scan I tried to uninstall this anti virus but was unable to do so.  It is now in the virus chest.  I also still have the icon on the desktop.  Can I safely delete this file from the chest?  Will it delete all of the files related to this antivirus?

googling the file name, lots of info, everything from a bogus AV program to adware

can it be uninstalled from ad/remove programs...... you may have to restore it first

if not then let avast and malwarebytes remove what they find
