Linda,
You can read about PUP.a here.

It's possible the generic PUP.a is in your System Restore and yes you will
get it back, but I believe with Avast you can then get rid of it. I just
suggested a System Restore before I'd do a Factory Restore, it's totally up
to you.
IMO I would get rid of McAfee period and install the FREE version of Avast.

Or the FREE version of AVG
