Re: PUP.Legacy.Optional - 3 Threats Identified

Glad you could solve the issue. And yeah, Malwarebytes is amazing, but I have found myself using ADWCleaner as well, there are something things one software doesn't clean as good as other, which is why it is always recommended to do multiple scans with multiple anti-malware solutions, just to be 100% sure.

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

Please try in safe mode, and share the scan and/or clean logfile :)

Thanks!

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.

Hello,

Can you use the latest AdwCleaner version (7.0.0.0) from here; https://toolslib.net/downloads/viewdownload/1-adwcleaner/ ?

Thanks,

Re: PUP.Legacy.Optional - 3 Threats Identified

Thanks, that's what I'm looking for.

I'll let you know asap.

Please advise if that's not what you're referring to.

Re: PUP.Legacy.Optional - 3 Threats Identified

I took a look at steps to do safe mode w/networking scan few weeks ago. When I tried to start it on my PC, I ran into some abmiguous choices and was afraid to pick the wrong option and really screw something up so I cancelled the scan. 

Point of reference -- I'm pretty good with everyday computer issues, but in over head when dealing with startup processes, program installs, etc.

Re: PUP.Legacy.Optional - 3 Threats Identified

John Ross -- thanks for the thought. May be something to what you're saying. The warning pops up on one site only -- tunein radio and only one program 94 wip sports talk. Doesn't happen when I listen to CNN, 97.5 Sports, and various music stations on tunein; only when I listen to 94wip so perpahs it's something that's being downloaded from that site only.

As for safe mode w/networking, was hop...
