[QUOTE="ncage, post: 752351, member: 62363"] I have disagree that PUP protection is overrated. While i agree that most members of this site are advanced users and know what PUPs are sometimes we are researching for family members that don't know what they are doing. Sometimes these PUPs can be difficult to remove and who knows what they are doing behind the scenes. Honestly after a machine gets anything on it i really don't trust it. I wipe/reinstall. On top of that there are sites that at one point started inserting PUPs into all their programs with no warnings (download.com). There has also been programs that randomly started insert PUPs into. A great example is the classic unlocker program. At one point the developer decide to insert PUPs into it with no warning. [/QUOTE]
