I also ran a quick scan in malwarebytes after the McAfee scan and no infected objects were found. Note: Downloaded files are usually saved to the Downloads folder. In the Downloads folder, double-click the MBSetup.exe setup file. I then ran a full scan on McaFee and it had detected the Generic PUP. Download and install the latest version of Malwarebytes for Windows to start protecting and removing threats from your computer. I finally restarted my computer into normal mode and mcAfee has once again found the Artemis!20B937399785 trojan virus with an item name of SAFARI.exe that is located in C:/program files (x86)\safari\bin. i then procedded to run ccleaner again and used msconfig and searched for any unknown startups, but none were found. I then restarted the computer into safe mode and ran a full system scan on mcafee followed by running a quick scan on malware bytes. I then ran autoruns and deleted the xnotes.exe registry startup entry and cleared a few missing files. I also ran Malwarebytes and nothing else was found, i also ran CCleaner and cleared the registry. So i've updated my dat files and engine for McAfee and i've run a full system scan, it had detected Generic PUP.

Use the built-in Windows file search to find them. Somewhere there's a clue, but I need to look at other people's experience. I'm still pondering the question of exactly what it was that put this PUP on your system. I've put all the temp directories I could find in the list, then made sure to right-click on any files that came up in the results that should be excluded from future cleaning scans. If you look in CCleaner ->Options ->Include you can specify locations where that program will look for junk files to get rid of. ![]() Of course, many programs don't bother to clean up when they terminate, so you get clutter in which it's often easy to hide files created by malware - on the basis that no-one's ever going to look in there and see them. As a general rule, if something's in a Temp directory then it's only needed for a specific reason, for a limited time period, and after that it should be deleted by the app that created it. Check the files in that directory - right-click on that exe and a couple of dll files and choose Properties, check to see if they are Microsoft files. Dimhost.exe - you mean "dismhost.exe"? That should be in your %system% directory, not in appdata\local\temp.
