PUP is a potentially unwanted program. Basically, something that comes with bundleware or through other sources. As fr33tux mentioned, you should just remove them and not worry about it much. In general, if you see something with WARE in scans, it is some form of malware.

The results of last scan:

PUP.Adware.Heuristic, At1

PUP.Adware.Heuristic, At1

What exactly does this mean, and is this a real threat? (because the updated interface is too confusing for me). Thank you in advance.

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.
