Hi Michael and Pondus,
Sure must bring a smile to your faces - polonus ran into a PUP detection now he hase banned the tracking cookies from his browser.
I think it is gone and according to the experts I should be good to go after an additional reboot.
I just do a MBAM scan again after reboot to see the generic PUP detection has left me for good.
I also will perform a fresh AdwCleaner scan.
PUPs and generic PUPs as this one are landing on computers through downloading or updating programs
(I did not get it via mail or an infested page)).
The updater I used lately was the avast! software updater to get the latest 7zip update.
Here we see a PUP detection for 7-zip.exe:

For FoxIt reader I used the developer site. to download and install the reader in Fx.
This reader was found to have PUP finds in the past, flagged by MBAM.
I think with all the bundling etc. now we have to grow more and more aware of potential unwanted goodies coming trickling down.
I more or less know what download sites to shun, but this is proof the best can be unwittingly targeted and stung.
Stay safe and secure with avast!
polonus
