SPEPOPUD.EXE Iobit Virus or?

[always_working]

Hello,

Was getting some annoying pop-up ads on my pc and found that ending the SPEPOPUD.EXE process killed them.  Then found out that it was an Iobit (uninstaller program) file.

Is this something Kaspersky Security Cloud should / could have caught or not? 

I'm thinking it slipped by due to the fact that I've had that program on my computer for a while but it's still concerning.

Uninstalling the program seems to have alleviated the issue but is it possible the system is still infected?

Any help appreciated!

Your system has most probably been infected with adware [not-a-virus].

Please run a full scan and no detections means your system is clean.
