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.

Hello, firstly, thanks for this amazing tool

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. 

Agreed. One strange result after running AdwClnr v7 safe mode scan -- first time used search engine noticed it had been switched to duckduckgo -- figured it's a browser hijack of some sort so chgd search engine setting bk to google and removed duck from list.

I then searched for add ons and related software and found none. Ran v7 safe mode scan again next day. No unwanted objects found, but ag...

I did another scan being curious. It updated and the same thing happened again. Lots of immunized entries.

I had already uninstalled adwcleaner, cleared reg keys and left overs, got a fresh copy and updated.

I think the update is getting stuck maybe ? keeps reverting ? something corrupt with the update ? I'm not sure....

but I do know this has started happening since the new version of adwcl...
