PUP = Potentially Unwanted Program. So, ask yourself: Do you WANT it? Also, use a search engine, not the Steam forums.

[Bumbefly (we/All)]

Should not be connected with Steam unless you downloaded the Steam Installer from a shady 3rd party website in stead of from Steam itself. It's addware that comes bundled with software you would want, like Google Chrome or McAffeee often is bundled when DLing installers from more legit DLsites.

Remove it. If the Steam software becomes damaged, DL a new installer from the Steam Website and no-where else.
