What Is PUP.Registry Kit?
PUP.Registry Kit is a type of potentially unwanted program that can install itself on your system without your explicit consent. This type of software often comes bundled with other programs or is downloaded from untrusted sources. PUPs can cause a range of problems, including slowing down your computer, displaying unwanted advertisements, and potentially exposing your personal data to risk.
How PUP.Registry Kit Operates
