Extra scans by the same product won't make much difference and consumes resources for no proper reason if we suspect an infection, we'd better use dedicated second opinion scanners such as zemana, hitmanpro, norton power eraser, or emsisoft emergency kit if PUP infection is suspected, use ESET, maybe malwarebytes (declining) last resort in all cases, Roguekiller can't solve => format and reinstall [/QUOTE]
