Hi Roland,
Pups are specific type of detection it is always hard to decide what to detect and what not, because a lot of legit popular application may fall in to this category, you can try enable detection of "enhanced set of potentially unwanted applications" in advanced settings.
Thanks

After running an AVG scan of an infected hard drive, I ran MalwareBytes Anti-Malware (MBAM) on it as well. MalwareBytes reported 865 PUPs in the scan, which is much higher than I would have expected. Is this a feasible result? I'm not sure how much similarity there is between the AVG list of unwanted programs, and the MBAM list.
