Macafee is telling me I have a PUP on my system and the location is nvserve.exe

Has anyone come across this or know what it is? Should it be removed or is it just Macafee having a turn?

do you mean avserve.exe ?...

I know avserve.exe is a worm avserve.exe - avserve.exe - Program Information
but never heard of nvserve.exe ... do you have the option to send it to Macafee for analysis ?... some security programmes allow you to do this...

failing that, you could go and ask in their forums or via their support systems, you dont want to be deleting a genuine file by accident, as Macafee could easily be showing you a false positive.
