I'm almost sure this is a program for using the victims internet, my question is, if the laptop is running off a wireless internet connection but isn't turned on, can that program still use the victims internet connection?

I believe not.  I think it uses a modem, hence dialer.  I'd recommend searching your computer to see where the "PUP" is located, it's possibly part of a program and could very well be legit. Dead Eyes Posted at 7:56 am on July 2, 2008 AVG is crap. I suggest you remove AVG from your machine immediately and download a program like www .comodo. com or http ://www.agnitum. com/products/outpost/ both of those are very good programs. AVG gives exaggerated reports. P.S Cant be assed to verify my email, just go to google and type in "comodo" "outpost firewall". TheWeatherGirl Posted at 6:31 pm on June 29, 2008 My reason for being suspicious was just the fact that it came up (after a virus scan AVG 8.0) as a PUP. I shall do more research on the matter..

That is helpful. My grandfather gets computer magazines each month and that was in there. The fat content in the mayonnaise is strong enough to remove computer virus'. If you knew anything about anything, you'd know that. Well you are an annoying asshole aren't you. Anyways does this program seem to be messing up your friends computer? If not I suggest you leave the file alone.. It could just be the file the computer uses to connect to the internet. Best thing to do if you don't know what a file is, is to do some research. Don't just go deleting random files making half-assed assumptions assuming there are viruses. heaaatherlynn Posted at 2:41 pm on June 28, 2008 Quote: from TheWeatherGirl at 2:37 pm on June 28, 2008 Quote: from heaaatherlynn at 10:35 pm on June 28, 2008 Just rub some mayonnaise on it and then stick it in the fridge for about an hour and it should be fine...
