jadinolf Posted May 22, 2013 SAS Pro 5.6.0.1020 For the last three mornings my first scan of the day has found 10 PUPs and I get the message that nothing has been added to Quarantine. Maybe I'm really dumb but I can't figure out how to get rid of them, Any idea why they are there every morning? Never had them before. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jadinolf Posted May 22, 2013 Today there were 8 and I was given the opportunity to delete them so we are making progress.edit: A manual scan was run later and SAS found two PUPs, so the total for the day was again 10. I have 5 computers in use and this is the only one picking up these PUPs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nighthawkext Posted May 22, 2013 Is this a scheduled scan or a manual scan? The PUP detections will be notify items. In order to remove notify items you must run a manual scan and select the items for removal when asked at scan completion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I may have more to report tomorrow morning since I found things that should not have been on my hard drive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jadinolf Posted May 23, 2013 Well, here we go. I Googled PUP and found that they came along with the installation of another program. Looking at when the PUPs started, I checked to see what program I had installed about 5/18/2013 and the closest i could find was Mozbackup on 5/14. I hen located two bits of malware that were installed on 5/14 - White Smoke New Tool Bar and Search Protect by Conduit. They are gone now and today's scan result is shown here. I am usually so careful about installing junk along with good programs. I did not see any of the malware I mentioned during installation of Mozbackup. The malware is gone and so is Mozbackup.

jadinolf Posted May 23, 2013 Sorry, graphic didn't load. Oh yes, I also installed Spyware Blaster which I haven't used in a long time. Don't know if this helped. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
