PUM files to keep or remove
« on: July 28, 2016, 07:01:42 PM »
I have been reading about the "PUM" files and I think one of them is "safe" - used for tethering my iPhone for a hotspot....however, what are the rest of them?  Could you assist me?  I have had some issues with my computer and was lead to using this....

thank you!!

Hi patbennettaz,

Welcome to Adlice.com Forum.
All of these PUMs are safe.

To me more specific, the [PUM.SearchPage] ones are related to Internet Explorer search engines (in your case bing.com) and the [PUM.DNS] ones allow you to access Internet.
You could safetly leave them alone.

Regards.
