RogueKiller / PUMs - and how to identify whether they are a problem

« on: August 24, 2016, 10:54:14 PM »

Hi group,
Just joined today. I also just finished doing a clean install of Win 10 after being hacked. I ran my AV, Malwarebytes, and RogueKiller  (free version for now) when I got Windows up and running.
The PUM is such a great idea. Your software is just ingenious, and the PUM is the icing on the cake. 

I'm pretty sure these are mods I made, but I want to know if you guys can give me some advice on how to confirm that. 

Windows always has a lot of things in Startup that aren't needed (at least not for me). So I use Glary Utilities and go through the different sections and disable items that I know I don't need. If I'm unsure whether I need it or not, I just leave it.

But these 2 PUMs are Registry.Policies and I'm not really convinced that the programs I disabled for startup would be in Reg Policies. I'm going to attach the screenshot, and hopefully you guys can give me some hints on how I can figure these out on my own. I don't want to bug you anytime something comes up.

Any help appreciated.

Greetings all,

I'm finally finished cleaning up ONE of my computers from a nasty hacker attack. That was in early July. Thank you Oh My from Bleepingcomputer. He was with me through it all. And Thank you RogueKiller! That is some great software you guys put together. When I recover a bit financially, I will be purchasing the paid version.

Next is my laptop. But I'm taking a week off before I tackle that one.
Most of us are probably here cuz we were hacked or got a really bad virus or malware on our computers. Sorry to all of you that are/were victims.

TTYL!
