For the most part PUPs aren’t really an issue and for some cause more concern than reassurance when the user has no idea what definition of a PUP is or what the file is that is being alerted on.
avast moves the file to the chest (a protected area), it is no longer in that location. So if you delete a file in the chest, that’s it, it is history, gone to the bit bucket in the sky, toast.
Personally there is little point in leaving this in the chest (Restore it) as that file in that location is legitimate, but tools can be used for good or bad. An AV isn’t to know the purpose it will be used for, hence the category PUP.
