Malwarebytes detected 19 PUPs could it be false?

Hi, I got a notification from Malwarebytes saying it quarantined 19 pups on my computer, I checked the names, it was "PUP.Optional.BrowserHijacking", I haven't installed anything lately, except for mods through CurseForge. The only thing I installed not too long ago, was AdBlock Plus again, and from the original webpage. Is it possible, it's falsely detecting it as a PUP? I deleted it just in case, and did a scan which showed up clean saying I'm 100% safe, but I want to make sure and ask around.

I'd like to ask for help on how to do and FRST scan. I scanned my pc yesterday with Malwarebytes and it showed me I had 10 threats. 9 PUPs and 1 Riskware. I did a deep scan after and it found another PUP. I'm worried I might have malware. I downloaded a sketchy emulator, So if anyone knows these stuff, could I please get help on how to make sure my pc is safe and so is my info?
