    Windows Defender says i have pua:win32/vigua.a


    Out of no where today Windows Defender says i have 2 pua:win32/vigua.a in Apps and browser control and i have been trying to find the location of them and delete them but they dont exist on my computer. I have tried installing Malwarebytes and it hasnt detected anything but Windows Defender has? Im confused and unsure of what to do or if i should worry about it. Another app i have tried is Gridinsoft and it detectet it but i cant do anything about it becasue i cant afford the premium version and cant find it,

    :)

    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.

    Windows Defender PUA Protection

    You shouldn't need 3rd-party apps to enable PUA protection. See this tutorial for how to enable it yourself.
