PUM.DNS False Positive?
« on: August 14, 2015, 03:10:52 AM »
I ran rougekiller today [i run anti-malware applications once every 2 or so months] and it found Four PUM.DNS Results in the registry. When i deleted them trough the registry i couldn't connect to the internet, so i changed my ipv4 settings back to normal and they showed up as viruses.

Is this a false positive?

Hi Canoccour,

Welcome to Adlice.com Forum.

PUM stands for Potentially Unwanted Modification. In your case, thoses entries are perfectly legit and necessary to access Internet.
For more information, please read RogueKiller Documentation.
