pup. optional.tarma. What is this ?
Anyone know what this is all about, I have free malwarebytes and it keeps finding this on my computer, is it of concern??, I click remove after the scan but not sure if it' gone, why does it keep coming back??, im a bit of a novice with a PC, however it concerns me as I do internet banking. I've searched the net and it says do this do that, download pc cleaner, im all a bit lost, should I just ignore it and hope malwarebytes are dealing with it, I have also Microsoft security essentials as my anti-virus, that doesn't find anything, any assistance and advice would be appreciated, Many thanks to you all

PUP aren't always bad files at all, plus mbam will advise you after a scan if it needs to be deleted. There are several good uses for PUP's but lots of people like to err on the side of caution and delete them.

PUP.Optional.Tarma.A is a specific detection used by Malwarebytes Anti-Malware
and other antivirus products to indicate and detect a Potentially Unwanted Program.
A potentially unwanted program is an application that contains adware,
installs toolbars or has other unclear objectives.
you need to track down every instance of it you can find,
and uninstall it.
parts of it will probably be in the registry, also in the prefetch
and in your AppData folder somewhere.
