I am awaiting confirmation as to whether this detection is going to be suppressed/or classified as a (PUP) under McAfee Labs policy.

It just so happens that this detection is also considered to be a *Legitimate* (PUP) as well.

Hi Cliff,

The TI team have confirmed that this is also a legitimate PUP detection.
