Potentially Unwanted Applications are a broad category of software whose intent is not as clearly malicious as that of other types of malware, such as viruses or trojans. However, they may install additional unwanted software, change the behavior of a device, or perform activities not approved or expected by the user.
Solution
-
Open the main program window of your ESET Windows home or small office product.
-
Ensure that your ESET product is configured to detect or ignore unwanted, unsafe and suspicious applications according to your preferences. You will not be able to remove applications that do not have detection enabled.
-
Press the F5 key to open Advanced setup.
