Recently I have noticed slow response times with certain
applications. I checked the Task Manager and found an
application running called "PUP". Once I end it, all is
well. After running a search for it and deleting it
(renaming), it appeared all would be well. Somehow it
keeps launching at startup. I checked the Task Manager
for processes running and concluded that an executable
file named "46871584.exe" is the file that launches "PUP".
Does anybody know what this app/file is for? It is found
under the System directory.
Feel free to email me with information.
Thanks,
Mike
