A client was recently affected by adware.
Upon investigation we saw 2 .exe files in their downloads: "PDFGrip-Installer-1.5.1.exe" and "setup.exe"
The Huntress agent did not flag the download of these 2 .exe files.
"PDFGrip-Installer-1.51.exe" was downloaded first and was proceeded by the download of "setup.exe".
On the same day, "Pulse Browser", a known PUP/adware, was found on their device.
(We understand that malware often hides behind inconspicuous file names like "setup.exe" but we wanted to include this detail to give Huntress the full picture.)
Please add the signatures of these two .exe files to the Huntress database for the Huntress agent to flag and block.
