Re: PUP.Legacy.Optional - 3 Threats Identified

Thanks for the feedback. The first time browser reset to duck was after identifying and removing 2 unwanted objectes (PUP.LEGACY.OPTIONAL). The second time it happened, however, was after the next safe mode scan in which no unwanted objects were detected. 

Re: PUP.Legacy.Optional - 3 Threats Identified

Agreed. One strange result after running AdwClnr v7 safe mode scan -- first time used search engine noticed it had been switched to duckduckgo -- figured it's a browser hijack of some sort so chgd search engine setting bk to google and removed duck from list.

I then searched for add ons and related software and found none. Ran v7 safe mode scan again next day. No unwanted objects found, but ag...

Re: PUP.Legacy.Optional - 3 Threats Identified

Looks like safe with nw did the trick. Same two elements were identified, but this time the removal process included a step "cleaning chrome", which definitely wasn't in any of the other scans. When I restarted in regular mode and ran another scan with v7, there were "no unwanted objects found". Super psyched!!

Below are two log files -- first is the one generated after removal of two unwanted...

Re: PUP.Legacy.Optional - 3 Threats Identified

Ran v7. This time only found two elements -- same file "PUP.LEGACY.OPTIONAL". Computer restarted after I clicked clean/remove option. When I ran scan again, same two objects were found. If you can think of any options, please advise. If think running scans in safe mode w/networking is best option, I'll give that a shot.

Thanks again for all the help.
