[QUOTE="HarborFront, post: 873344, member: 55987"] A software installed on its own will not be detected as a PUP as compared to the same software bundled as a PUP and being installed. If you uninstall the software they behave the same and gets uninstalled in both cases. But when comes to removing remnant registry entries those associated to the PUPs cannot be removed unless you remove the PUPs which is not part of the standard uninstallation procedure of the software. And the PUPs and those associated registry entries do carry the name of the software as well. Too bad at that time I uninstalled my KIS for I was doing some testing supposedly related to it and WD was not enabled to detect PUP. Initially I used EEK to remove the PUPs but its result was not that good for the registry entries still could not be removed. Then I ran AdwCleaner and removed the remaining PUPs and the registry entries were then automatically removed in the process. I checked with Windows' regedit and none was there. So my system is clean now of SAntivirus as a PUP-bundled software. As for NordVPN, like I mentioned, I went to the hardware section to remove its tap driver then I can remove its stubborn remnant files/registry entries. A new lesson learnt in removing stubborn files/registry entries which even the use of 12 program/files/folders/registry removal software could not. [/QUOTE]
