Infected Possibly at least 1 Program picks up baddies
« on: January 25, 2019, 02:19:30 AM »
Hello All

Decided to run a scan with ADW Cleaner 7.2.6.0 before I do my weekly Avast full scan and Malwarebytes (force of habit for all the years using it)  One forum stated I should just drop Avast and use Defender as it's more than enough for home use, but i'm gonna stick with Avast,  anyways the detections are PUP.Optional.Legacy  and Pup.Optional.thebrighttag

Windows 10 Pro 64bit 1909 18363.476, Intel I7 7700 Nvidia Geforce 1050 16gb DDR4, WD 250GBSSD, 1tb Storage, Avast Free 19.8.2393
HP Omen Laptop Intel I7 7700HQ, 8gb Of Ram Windows 10 Home x64 1909 18363.476 128GB SSD, 1tb Storage, Avast Free 19.8.2393

PUP are not infections, PUP = Possible Unwanted Program (some want it and others dont)


PUP.Optional.Legacy   >>  https://blog.malwarebytes.com/detections/pup-optional-legacy/
