Re: False positives?

It's true I haven't restarted the PC since this whole thing started. Plus while I have IE installed I don't actually use it, not even browser helper objects or anything like that. Though I don't know if that counts for anything.

Thanks. It was with the Chrome browser ?

Re: PUP.Legacy.Optional - 3 Threats Identified

I've also tried to download it in Google Chrome, but it says that "This app has been blocked for your protection."
