Hi. Welcome to 2-Spyware.com forums.

The pup.exe file is a malicious one. It is not a system file and therefore should be deleted. This executable is related to some parasites including Winpup, LimeShop, Revop and few downloader trojans. pup.exe usually resides in main system folder C:\Windows or C:\Winnt.

What kind of a warning you get? Please provide it in your reply.
