Hi Be Secure,

Agree with you, but read my PS. Good you gave these VT scan results and be asured that Avast Team Members follow these threads.
Adding to Avast detection as a volunteer and general forum member is an honourable task and I hope Avast Team Members will take due notice.
The PUP-circus is a vast terrain to cover as the majority of so-called free programs comes at the cost of bundled PUPs, crap, adware, nagware etc. and some of these PUPs can be not only annoying but also detrimental to the health of the computer OS. We the users are the product here. Sometimes these malcreations can only be cleansed through the help of a qualified remover as we have several here.
It is part of the sorry state the Interwebs are in to-day, an almost exclusively adlaunching, tracking and monitoring marketing platform with users as “click-cattle” to generate grand revenues. :smiley:

Some PUP and adware that are considered so-called acceptable are only detected by the specialized scanners, "normal"AV vendors exclude the so-called “non-malicious per se”, as I doubt sincerely whether “such an animal” really exists, that is also why I advise every user online to use a decent adblocker like uBlock origin for instance and a decent script and content blocker like uMatrix next to their residential AV solution.

Users of firefox that know how to handle NoScript and RequestPolicy add-ons are also far better protected.
