    I tried using a anti-virus like MalwareBytes but it didn't detect anything, and when I did a quick-scan with Windows Defender it picked up nothing.How the heck do I get rid of these and how.. dangerous are they?PUADlManager:Win32/Snackarcin there's twoPUA:Win32/Vigua.APUA:Win32/Puwaders.C!mlAm I safe because my anti-virus didn't pick up anything because Windows Defender probably removed it?I saw this in Protection History.

    :)

    PUA not deleted or quarantined by Windows Defender

    HI, I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    A PUA is not actually malware, it is an application on your PC that Defender deems to be possibly unsafe.

    Please provide a screenshot of the history list in Defender showing the PUA's it has found on your PC.

    pua notification won,t go away

    Hi #seahawk#

    Thank you for the screenshot, Defend does not list the app it considers to be a PUA, the best option is to perform an offline scan with Defender, then download the free version of Malwarebytes and run a full scan with that, those scans should remove the PUA from your PC.

    Is my Graphic card damaged ?

    I used the exact software to clean the mess and it removed all the malwares . That helped but did not fix the issue
