Hey, I'm looking for some PUP-removal advice. McAfee found this file "JS/Joke-Shake" on my computer but says that it cannot be removed. I tried following the file name through the explore option but couldn't find it. Has anyone else encountered this problem? Were you able to remove it? Does it even need to be removed?

Thanks for any help in advance!

Hi there fillie82 ,

Firstly, welcome to CompuForums. I hope that you can visit our forum often in the future and post - rather than just receiving our help and advice, and then never visiting again - not posting once we've helped you is like stealing from every member that has helped you. We provide our help for free, and all we ask in return is that you participate in our forum and refer your friends, or consider a premium membership.
I have moved this thread for you - as it says in the description:
"Kick back , relax, and discuss anything else apart from computing and technology."
Please ensure you have read the rules here and that you read forum descriptions before you post your next thread.

You might want to consider ditching Maca[b]Fee[b] giving Avast Home Edition a try. It scans for and removes viruses before Windows is completely started.
