Need Help Removing Some PUP's

[RevolutionSphere]

Just re-ran a Hitman Pro scan, seems that the files are still here and its found something new, that apparently needs to be repaired

Screenshot and Log has been attached

What Hitman Pro found was 2 dead Reg Keys and Drivers/etc. Which could be anything (Has no extension) so I presume it's a file folder. HitmanPro can be a bit dangerous and I'd personally consider them FP's.

That is the log file from HMP.

Something else to add....

Essex made the Hosts files reset. ([resethosts]). Just another reason for a FP.

[RevolutionSphere]

Ok, thanks for the input.  I personally find Hitman Pro very helpful at times

[Michael (alan1998)]

I would personally think they are FP's. Wait for Essex to have last word. But that'd be my guess.

[RevolutionSphere]

I'll see what Essex wants me to do.

I believe that error with delfix has now been repaired, so download and run a fresh copy.  Without any files to run those registry keys are doing nothing and going nowhere.  All they do is point to where the programme was originally installed. They will in no way affect the performance of your computer

Still getting the same error.

OK delete delfix and then run OTL and press the cleanup button.  It will achieve the same aim 

[RevolutionSphere]

Will do

Cleanup is all done, thanks for the help essexboy 

[essexboy]

My pleasure, be careful with hitmanpro though

I will do but what should I be careful about?

[essexboy]

Always triple check before you allow it to delete anything, as I have had to repair a few machines where it was overzealous 

[Michael (alan1998)]

HitmanPro can delete system files. That is the issue with HMP sadly. Although a great tool, has some cons to it.

[RevolutionSphere]

Makes sense, I will be careful when using it.

Thanks guys for the help
