I also ran a quick scan in malwarebytes after the McAfee scan and no infected objects were found. I then ran a full scan on McaFee and it had detected the Generic PUP. I finally restarted my computer into normal mode and mcAfee has once again found the Artemis!20B937399785 trojan virus with an item name of SAFARI.exe that is located in C:/program files (x86)\safari\bin. ![]() i then procedded to run ccleaner again and used msconfig and searched for any unknown startups, but none were found. I then restarted the computer into safe mode and ran a full system scan on mcafee followed by running a quick scan on malware bytes. I then ran autoruns and deleted the xnotes.exe registry startup entry and cleared a few missing files. I also ran Malwarebytes and nothing else was found, i also ran CCleaner and cleared the registry. So i've updated my dat files and engine for McAfee and i've run a full system scan, it had detected Generic PUP.

Use the built-in Windows file search to find them. Note: Downloaded files are usually saved to the Downloads folder. In the Downloads folder, double-click the MBSetup.exe setup file. Somewhere there's a clue, but I need to look at other people's experience. Download and install the latest version of Malwarebytes for Windows to start protecting and removing threats from your computer. I'm still pondering the question of exactly what it was that put this PUP on your system. I've put all the temp directories I could find in the list, then made sure to right-click on any files that came up in the results that should be excluded from future cleaning scans. If you look in CCleaner ->Options ->Include you can specify locations where that program will look for junk files to get rid of. Of course, many programs don't bother to clean up when they terminate, so you get clutter in which it's often easy to hide files created by malware - on the basis that no-one's ever going to look in there and see them. As a general rule, if something's in a Temp directory then it's only needed for a specific reason, for a limited time period, and after that it should be deleted by the app that created it. Check the files in that directory - right-click on that exe and a couple of dll files and choose Properties, check to see if they are Microsoft files. ![]() Dimhost.exe - you mean "dismhost.exe"? That should be in your %system% directory, not in appdata\local\temp.
