The 'heur' means heuristic. Which is another word for 'guess'. Probably false positive.

PUP detection (Adware/offers). Not a virus.

Where does it say that? All I can see is Trojan Generic?
I mean I'm not saying the threat is real but I'm not sure on what basis you're saying it's a PUP?

First, I know there are optional offers in the default download packages.
Second, Heur and Gen detection is just guesswork and to be taken with more than a grain of salt (like everything that snake-oil software displays).
Third, if there was a true virus/trojan, we would have an outrage here.
