Hello,

best is to ask in the mobile security section of the forum: http://forum.avast.com/index.php?board=37.0

Avast send out corrupted definitions today. Make sure you have the VPS version 140109-1 and rescan all Apps.

PUP = not virus / Possible Unwanted Program
usually a program that have some crap like unwanted ads, browser redirects, install unwanted toolbar....
