Hello,

I can't get rid of pup optional conduit. I'm not sure if it's critical.
Malwarebytes and Awdcleaner find it but it keeps coming back.
What solution is there?
Thank you

    Hi,

    Often it's just leftovers.
    Can you provide the scan report?

    ok so AdwCleaner detections, so we don't care.

    This is related to Avast! DriverUpdate:
    PUP.Optional.SlimCleanerPlus C:\Users\rchor\AppData\Local\slimware utilities inc

    If you have installed any additional Avast! software, uninstall them.
    They are useless.

    ~~

    Periodic scans with AdwCleaner are pointless and can only create problems.
    AdwCleaner should be used to remove infections when you are suffering from pop-up ads, etc., and not to check for that.

    Read about these bad scanning habits:
    AdwCleaner, RogueKiller, ZHPCleaner: bad habits.

    Just stick to scans with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware - Malwarebytes Anti-Malware free version tutorial which has a broader scope of action.
