It all depends on the rig. HDD's are not known to be the fastest at boot times, especially if the system is Windows XP, quite a legacy system right now. Not really sure. If you PC specs are good, then you shouldn't have such long boot times, unless your HDD's are really slow. Did you notice anything else during the boot? Is your WinXP iso image clean?

Since PUP is a potentially unwanted software, it might not be an infection, just some rogue application running or installed on your PC. Do a thorough scan with Malwarebytes and see if it helps to deal with the issue. Also, you can try searching for the folder manually, as the path is listed and remove it that way. If you have issues, kill the process with the task manager and then remove it.
Glad the issues have been sorted out. For future reference, I recommend installing some form of Adblock, as not only that prevents malicious ad pop-ups but also some malicious websites as well. Additionally, you can check any link before clicking it using Virus Total or Scanurl. Good luck!
Did you remove previous versions of the software from your PC and are you sure you are using the latest version? Make sure you are running only one instance of anti-malware software.
Glad to see everything is working again. 7.0.2 seems to be a lot more stable than other versions, hopefully, this continues. Also, you could upload your pictures to a free image upload site and paste the links here :)

That was from the time it went from 7.0.0 to the 7.0.1. I know it changes after a few weeks or so so I have been checking every few da...
Here's the log... I still get that one PUP.Optional.Legacy result, dammit.
So it's really an infection after all?
