    Hi, I'm getting the message "Potentially unwanted app found", and the program is PUA:Win32/PiriformBundler.I don't want to install this potentially unwanted app, and I don't have cc cleaner which I understand can be the culprit. Windows Security flags it as "severe" on browser and app control, and lets me delete it - but then the pop-up comes up again, literally every few seconds, and as soon as it's deleted it comes back again.

    Windows Security How to remove Win32/Creprote

    If Windows Security detects Win32/Creprote as unwanted why does it not quarantine/remove it? I have a similar problem with MyWebSearch.

    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.

    Not seeing how to modify PUA handling

    I agree with the others. Select an entry in the Protection history list & you be able to click on a dropdown to see what other actions are available to you.

    - Remove means delete - Restore means move out of quarantine - After something is restored from Quarantine, you might also see Allow which means add this to WD's Exclusions list [see post #2] Denis
