    Problems don't normally show in Quick Scan but today I ran a full scan with Malwarebytes and it showed 2 problems, which I have removed.
    They were PUP.Optional.O and PUP. Optional.S.
    I rarely get malware, but what surprised me was that they were listed in the Veoh file path.
    Veoh is not listed on my system, although I do recall having it some years ago.
    Not sure what to do about this or how to stop the problem happening again.
    I was thinking of installing Veoh and then uninstalling it with Revo so as to make sure everything was fully removed.
    I use Malwarebytes and Malware Fighter.
    Would appreciate any help.
    Thanks.

    PUP's aren't anything to worry about. MBAM usually picks them up. You could try doing what you suggested to remove any remnants.
