A “PUP” is not a virus or malware. It is a potentially unwanted program/item.

Malwarebytes reports it but at present fails to remove it correctly.

avast PUP scan is default off in all scan exept boot scan…

when you scanned / detected with Malwarebytes, was it marked for removal ? …did you click the remove selected button after scan ?
