Excellent Fred! I do use Firefox as default browser but keep Explorer as
an alternative for sites that limit your access.

I am going to struggle recognising what can safely be removed. Anyway no
online purchases or bank access FTTB.


Work on the principle that if malwarebytes flags it, have it delete it.
Keeps it simple.


er.. It flagged about 15 but only ticked 2 for removal. I should have a
fresh list tomorrow and plan to post some examples here for comment.

As John suggests you are 99.9% safe to take it at its word and kill the
lot but feel free to post a screengrab of the results to remove all

A tip is that most things it identifies as PUPs (Potentially Useful
Programs) aren't (useful that is) :-). Even if they were useful and you
lost them then it's a simple enough matter to find them again and
re-install.
