Trying to Download Something that I Don't Want to?

The Cool n00B · October 9, 2015

So I just logged into Windows today. I haven't been on in a couple days, since I do a lot of stuff on my 1-to-1 macbook from school. Anyway, I got on today and Windows did its typical thang, mainly just Steam, Spotify, and uTorrent (I don't torrent anything illegal, so shut up) starting when I get to the desktop. I have this application called GetRight since it makes my downloads a little faster and also it allows me to download large files over my shit internet connection. Anyway, GetRight kept spamming me because it though I tried to download a file, which I didn't. It said the file was coming from us-e-node7.smartyads.com. I stopped GetRight via the task manager, but now my desktop is getting spammed with the same thing, it just looks different. I'm currently running Malwarebytes. It's detected 23 threats out of 70k files, and it's not done. Here are screenshots:

EDIT: Malwarebytes says it's non-malware, but there's "PUP.HackTool.Agent", "PUP.Optional.OpenCandy", and "PUP.Optional.Amonetize"

I deleted all of the files it detected, but not the registry keys it detected. I restarted. Seems like it's gone now, probably should've waited for the scan to finish to post the thread but it seems like you're right.
