McAfee only detect this program. There are no number found behind this program. Just Generic PUP. I don't which program installed this Generic PUP. What I know is that when this program tries to connect to the internet, McAfee will block this program. I also thought the music did not playback smoothly because of hardware problem so Dell replaced the motherboard. Actually my mouse starts to react slow eg it does not move until I tried to move the mouse repeatedly. The typing capabilities also suffer.
Eg apple becomes aple because the PC did not record by keystroke; maybe I type too fast. In some situations I will lose internet connection and I am forced to reboot the PC. What happened after the motherboard replacement which was done yesterday morning was that I still encounter the music playback problem after using the PC for hours. Can I sidetrack and ask a question on Windows Live Messenger? If I use Messenger for video conference, is it normal to lose internet connection after 2 hours?
I am wondering whether Messenger is the cause of PC hanging. My messenger starts up when I start my PC.

Last reply by doc30 Unsolved. Grace 2 Bronze. Generic PUP. The worst is when multiple PUPs get to your PC, I was installing a lot of free video editors to see which was the best and before I knew it I had three new toolbars on my browser that I could not remove. But soon enough the toolbars were taking my whole screen.
Installing programs using the custom installation is kind of a pain, but I guess that there is no way around this. There is a good reason for that, these kinds of applications were indeed used to be called malicious. But at one point, the developer of an adware sued an Antivirus company I think it was McAfee because they called their application malicious. So there you have it, they are indeed unwanted and malicious, but no security company will mark them as such because that would put them at the risk of getting sued.
But how is it possible for a program to conclude which applications are potentially unwanted and which ones are legitimate???
