You ran it in scan only mode.  You need to run it in scan and repair.

You might want to start by reading the instructions with Malwarebytes.  I don't have it installed on this machine and cannot install it here.  If the instructions don't help try Googlin

Do you mean that I should delete the files after scan?

Hi,

Tried the Malwarebytes solution but it does not work.

Even after deleting all the PUPs found by Malwarebytes the process explorer_1.exe is visible in the task manager and it consumes up to 45-50% of the CPU.

Sorry it was not helpful.
