Re: More false positives

Try using the beta, see if that elevate the false positives. However, if your software is obtained in illegitimate ways (I know music software can get quite expensive), it might have some form of virus or malware attached to it. You can never discount the possibility.

Re: Start\Windows icon

Have you noticed anything else weird/out of the ordinary on your PC? Can you try booting into Windows "Safe mode with networking" and see if you can do any of the actions through that. Otherwise, I would recommend doing a thorough malware check just in case.

Full and thorough malware check:

1. Restart your PC in “Safe mode with networking.” 2. Install and run RKill to kill malicious processes...

Re: False positives?

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. 

Re: Version 7.0.2.0 beta stops when scanning

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.

Re: False positives?

Here's the log... I still get that one PUP.Optional.Legacy result, dammit.

So it's really an infection after all?
