    Windows Defender blocking PUA?

    - Notifications. same as other WD notifications (PUA at the beginning of the message)
    - False positives: hard to tell. Have none in a month or so (non PUA detections)
    - PUA blocking is only for file transfers. Nothing to do with ads themselves (only ad injection).

    From MS doc:

    Windows Defender PUA Protection

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