    Microsoft Defender Detects PUA:Win32/CoinMiner in the Norton Installer file


    Hi AllI got a threat warning by microsoft defender saying that "PUA:Win32/CoinMiner" was detected. I was downloading norton security when this happened. I had just factory reset this computer and logged onto it a day ago I factory reset it a couple of days back and signed into windows a day ago. For now I have disabled norton and am using windows defender.I was wondering if this is of actuall concern or if this is a false threat that was mistakenly detected?Should I be concerned and if so please advice on what I should do.Thanks a lot[Original Title: Gt]
