How Do I Remove the PUP.Optional.ExpressFiles.A?

PUP.Optional.ExpressFiles.A is a "rogue antivirus" program, that has been designed to steal your personal data from your PC. There are a lot of these programs infecting computers on the Internet, and have just been designed to appear like "official" antivirus programs, showing lots of fake results, and scamming you into purchasing a worthless "upgrade" of the program. If you are unfortunate enough to have this infection, it's vital that you're able to remove it completely from your system, and here's how...

The unfortunate fact about this infection is that it's been designed to resemble a "legitimate" antivirus program on your PC, making many people think they can just remove it by deleting the executable file it needs to run. You can also remove it from the "Add / Remove Programs" applet inside Windows. The bad thing about removing this virus manually is that it leaves a large amount of malicious code on your computer, which "farms" your personal data. It's like a weed in your garden - you might get rid of the flowers & leaves, but if the root is still there, it's still going to cause a lot of damage.

The files that this program uses are as follows:

PUP.Optional.ExpressFiles.A.exe
enemies-names.txt
hookdll.dll
enemies-names.txt
setupapp7070010000.exe
You could try and remove it manually, but it's strongly recommended you don't. The way to remove this infection is to use a spyware removal program called "Spyhunter". This program is extremely popular, and is designed to scan through your PC and remove all the infected elements that are inside it. The reason why you need to use this program, is firstly because it's able to completely remove the infection from your system; but is also the most reliable tool to do the job. There are a lot of spyware removal programs available, but only a few which will fix your system in the best way. This tool is effective & reliable, removing the largest number of infected elements from your computer.

After you perform a "deep" scan with the Spyhunter program, you should then use a registry cleaner to repair any of the infected settings that were left on your system from the PUP.Optional.ExpressFiles.A infection. Not many people realize this, but there is a series of infected settings this infection will leave on your system, that will be unable to be removed. This is a big problem, because if you don't get rid of them - they will act like a "magnet" for other viruses to infect your PC. It's vital you remove this by using a 'registry cleaner' program, which will scan through the registry of your system and remove any of the infected parts of it that are causing damage.
