What's the location of the detected file? (Full path).

"PUP" is usually "potentially unwanted program".
"Gen" is "generic".
What the detection probably means is that there is a program somewhere on your computer that you may not want to have running as its behaviour or signature is close to or somewhat mimics that of a known malware.

Research this program, if the file path points you to it.
