Anyone know about Generic PUP .x

Question

My computer says that it detected a potentialy unwanted program called Generic PUP .x . I've never heard of but I really don't know too much about computers. I have the Mc Affee virus protection installed on my computer. And I looked up the name of the program and there was a website that said it is not a virus. I just want to know what is and what it will do to my computer ( if anything ) and I would also like to know hoe to get rid of it! PLEASE HELP!

Answer 1

McAfee don't have much info on it ATM. If you can locate the questionable file, upload it here for a 2nd opinion: http://virusscan.jotti.org/

What is the program name?

I might let VirusScan quarantine it for now.

McAfee's info page on it: http://vil.nai.com/vil/content/v_141767....
