Not sure if I have a virus on my laptop, but something called pup bundle (I think) shows up on my daily scan. I don't usually scan every day, but since my laptop has been playing up I have been.:(

Anyone know how to get rid of this permanently as it is deleted after every scan? It shows up in Malwarebytes, but not always in my Norton for some reason.

Download hitmanpro and take out the free months trial,it really is a fantastic malware eliminator,looked up that pupbundle virus and it looks a pretty harsh one to be fair,hope HitManPro gets rid for you.

Hit man pro is excellent but as you go step by step decline any offers from Amazon etc!

Try downloading Malawarebytes

http://www.malwarebytes.org/lp/malware_lp/?gclid=CN62_Nmmu7MCFcrItAodJHIA7

It stops the nasty little virus's, but you need to run it every week or so :)

If you really want to stop this forget Windows and change to Linux. It is a better OS and you will not get any more problems. Yes you may need to re-learn how you computer works but you will not regret it! Have a look at this site http://www.ubuntu.com/

Jen, i sometimes get 'pop ups' saying i have a virus on my computer.
Often, these are ploys from companies such as Norton etc to make you believe you have a virus, when in fact you don't.
It's a way of getting you to sign up & pay for their protection.
The way i see it, if your computer is running ok, ignore them.
