just finished a full scan on my external HDD today and found 2 suspected virus named PUP: Win32:Agent-BBIU [PUP] with Low severity on my game folders so i was wondering is this a virus? will it do any harm to my computer and can i run my game safely with this?
PUP is not virus. https://www.virusbtn.com/resources/glossary/potentially_unwanted.xml
A very good PUP remover is Malwarebytes

thank you, so if i want to run my game is it safe to add the pup file on exclusion list?
it is probably some adware crap that is bundled with the program
