Hi Wicksey ,
When you cancel out it will show what if any issues that it already found.

It's an unwanted program (PUP) from booking.com. The website said to quarantine it which I've done.

Hi Wicksey,

Look in Task Scheduler as Booking.com has been know to setup aTask to schedule Adverts ...................... :evil:

Hence showing up as PUP.

I couldn't see it there, Enrique. I just looked in Active Tasks in the Task Scheduler, presumably the right place?
