Has anyone gotten a PUP virus in their computer lately? I ran Malwarebytes and they found: 4 PUP.optional.mindspark.A. Has anyone ever gotten one, and if so, did putting it in quarantine remedy the situation.
malwarebytes is a great spyware program and if you quarantine something you should not have to worry about it anymore. Do not format your computer over a pup.
Read what JDoTProXy says: He explains what a pup is.
"PUP's or (Potentially Unwanted Programs) usually consist of things like browser add-ons and toolbars... When installing programs 98% of programs, they will install additional software that do not provide any benefit, and tend to just slow down the OS overall... By choosing the option to "customize" the install during initial setup, the additional software can be avoided, however some PUP's are pretty tricky to thwart installation".
