I just ran a scan on my computer using a a non-webroot antimalware. It tells me I have several iterations of something called
PUP.optional.downloaderguide.a,
PUP.optional.visualbee.a,
PUP.optional.crossrider.a,
Webroot Complete tells me everything is clean and golden. Just how dangerous are these "PUP." things? And what are they?
PUP.optional.etc etc etc
