PUP.OPTIONAL.MySearchDial.A Help

[pegasus31]

My Malware bytes has detected PUP.OPTIONAL.MySearchDial.A and 27 other detections but my Avast has picked nothing up. Any help would be appreciated

[essexboy]

They are PUP's (potentially unwanted programmes) Avast does not scan for those by default

Please download Junkware Removal Tool to your desktop.

• Right-mouse click JRT.exe and select "Run as Administrator" the tool will open and start scanning your system
• please be patient as this can take a while to complete depending on your system's specifications
• On completion, a log (JRT.txt) is saved to your desktop and will automatically open.
• post the contents of JRT.txt into your next message.

[pegasus31]

I have downloaded the program but when I run as administrator a message appears saying 7-zip:Internal error code 105

[essexboy]

Could you reboot your computer and try again please

How is it behaving now ?

[pegasus31]

it was behaving fine but I was worried when Malware bytes detected it and not Avast

[essexboy]

PUP's need to be enabled for Avast to detect that as it is a programme that some people voluntarily install

[pegasus31]

Thank you for your help. Does this mean I am safe?

[essexboy]

Unless you wish me to check deeper, yes

Delete JRT from the desktop

[pegasus31]

Will you check deeper? If it isn't to much trouble

[essexboy]

No problem

Download OTL  to your Desktop
Secondary link

• Double click on the icon to run it. Make sure all other windows are closed and to let it run uninterrupted.

• Select All Users
  
• Under the Custom Scan box paste this in

netsvcs
BASESERVICES
%SYSTEMDRIVE%\*.exe
/md5start
services.*
explorer.exe
winlogon.exe
Userinit.exe
svchost.exe
/md5stop
dir "%systemdrive%\*" /S /A:L /C
CREATERESTOREPOINT

• Click the Run Scan button. Do not change any settings unless otherwise told to do so. The scan wont take long.
  
  • When the scan completes, it will open two notepad windows. OTL.Txt and Extras.Txt. These are saved in the same location as OTL.
    
  • Attach  both logs
