This is the same question I asked earlier.....its for the same PC.

I think it maybe posted on the wrong board so will now post it on the Computer board.

A search on PUPSC finds a few hits. Seems it is a serious virus infection.

What operating system are you on (version of Windows)?

Have you got any protection (anti virus or other securuty software installed)?

There are a few places it is mentioned like here:

You could try to downoad and run malwarebytes as it MAY get rid of it.

It looks as though the way to get rid of it is to do several runs of Spybot, rebooting between runs. Run the program as an administrator - which just means logging in as a user with administrator privileges, and preferably doing it safe mode (at least in XP, don't know about Vista and Windows 7).

Have a look at http://forums.spybot....howthread.php?t=35344 - the method is described in what is almost the last post

I also think Search and Destry may get rid of it, but you may need to run it with Administrator priviligies.

But as I have not got Search and Destroy I am not sure how you do that.

Found this on the Spybot web site, does this help?

If not see if there is an option on Search and Destroy saying something like "Run as Administrator".
