What Is PUP.Softrary?
PUP.Softrary is a type of malware that is classified as a potentially unwanted program. This means that it is not necessarily malicious in nature, but it can still cause problems with your system and compromise your privacy. PUPs are often installed unintentionally, and they can be bundled with other software or downloaded from the internet. They may display unwanted advertisements, collect user data, or modify system settings without permission.
How PUP.Softrary Operates
PUP.Softrary operates by installing itself on your system and then executing its payload. This can happen through various means, such as drive-by downloads, exploited vulnerabilities, or social engineering tactics. Once installed, the PUP can start collecting user data, displaying ads, or modifying system settings. It may also communicate with its command and control servers to receive updates or transmit stolen data.
Symptoms of Infection
The symptoms of a PUP.Softrary infection can vary, but common signs include unwanted advertisements, pop-ups, or browser redirects. You may also notice that your system is running slowly, or that your browser settings have been changed without your permission. Additionally, you may see unfamiliar programs or icons on your desktop, or receive suspicious notifications or alerts. If you notice any of these symptoms, it is essential to take immediate action to remove the PUP and prevent further damage.
How to Remove PUP.Softrary
- Boot your system in Safe Mode with Networking to prevent the PUP from loading and to allow for a clean removal process.
- Use a reputable anti-malware tool, such as SpyHunter, to perform a full scan of your system and detect any malicious files or programs.
- Uninstall any suspicious programs or applications that you do not recognize or that were installed without your permission.
- Reset your web browsers, including Chrome, Firefox, and Edge, to their default settings to remove any unwanted extensions or add-ons.
- Reboot your system and perform another scan with your anti-malware tool to ensure that the PUP has been completely removed.
Conclusion
Removing PUP.Softrary from your system requires careful attention to detail and a thorough understanding of the removal process. By following the steps outlined above, you can help to ensure that your system is clean and free from the PUP. It is also essential to take preventative measures to avoid future infections, such as keeping your operating system and software up to date, using strong antivirus software, and being cautious when downloading and installing new programs. By staying vigilant and taking proactive steps to protect your system, you can help to prevent the installation of unwanted programs and keep your computer running smoothly and securely.

File Icons
File Icons
This section displays icon resources found within family samples. Malware often replicates icons commonly associated with legitimate software to mislead users into believing the malware is safe.
Digital Signatures
Digital Signatures
This section lists digital signatures that are attached to samples within this family. When analyzing and verifying digital signatures, it is important to confirm that the signature’s root authority is a well-known and trustworthy entity and that the status of the signature is good. Malware is often signed with non-trustworthy “Self Signed” digital signatures (which can be easily created by a malware author with no verification). Malware may also be signed by legitimate signatures that have an invalid status, and by signatures from questionable root authorities with fake or misleading “Signer” names.| Signer | Root | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Proektnij ofis cifrovoj transformacii LLC | USERTrust RSA Certification Authority | Root Not Trusted |
Block Information

Similar Families
Similar Families
This section lists other families that share similarities with this family, based on EnigmaSoft’s analysis. Many malware families are created from the same malware toolkits and use the same packing and encryption techniques but uniquely extend functionality. Similar families may also share source code, attributes, icons, subcomponents, compromised and/or invalid digital signatures, and network characteristics. Researchers leverage these similarities to rapidly and effectively triage file samples and extend malware detection rules.- Softrary.A
