Solve : P.U.P. in virus scan? |
|
Answer» When running the AVAST virus scan should i turn on the pup setting, and what does it stand for.we know how old you are. PUPs usually aren't "hard-core" malware, just nuisances (typically adware), so most malware scanners won't bother with them. But of course if you can scan for and remove them, so much the better.

Thanks Geek Thanks Kpac and Linux711, i will turn it on and clear them out. AFAIK As far as I know Quote from: kpac on November 11, 2011, 06:25:53 AM As far as I know Nothing found, pc is as slow as crap, and i have run all the security What exactly is slow now ? ? Internet? Booting ? Running apps ? ? Check to SEE how much free space is on the HDD... You MAY also want to review how many and what apps are running in the BACKGROUND eating up resources... Quote from: kpac on November 11, 2011, 03:52:23 AM PUP = possibly unwanted program, AFAIK.No, it's potentially unwanted program. Reference: http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/P/PUP.html Quote from: soybean on November 11, 2011, 09:56:41 AM No, it's potentially unwanted program.Well they're wrong! You guys are squabbling semantics...I say they are PIPS, not PUPS. Potentially Invasive Program. Otherwise, unwanted programs would cover a lot of territory. Just drop it.Everything seems to back to normal now. The modem keep going off every 1/2 hour, then the phone stopped working and it seems to have been a short in the exchange. So thank you all for your help. |
