Re: Can I remove these folders/keys safely with adware cleaner?

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.

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.

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.
