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?
