Windows 10: MALWAREBYTES ADWCLEANER v7.4 Pre Installed Lenovo Software Question

I have used MALWAREBYTES ADWCLEANER probably since it was first introduced. When I ran it today a new version of the software was available (7.4) which I downloaded. No PUPS were found however this new version for the first time flagged Lenovo preinstalled software and asked whether or not I wanted to quarantine it. I don't necessarily want to quarantine this software however I am curious if anyone else uses MALWAREBYTES ADWCLEANER regularly with a Lenovo computer and have found the same results.
