    No Options to Remove a Potentially Unwanted App


    Hello,The App & Browser Control is showing a "Potentially Unwanted App". When I click Review, It takes me to Reputation-Based Protection.Finally, when I click on Review again and click on the arrow next to Low, it doesn't show me the options to remove the app. It takes me to Windows Security, asking me if "I want to allow this app to make changes to my device".Why can't I see the options to remove this app? Can you help me?Thank you in advance,PiaffNote: By the way, when I run a full scan, the scan doesn't find any viruses.

    :)

    Potentially Unwanted App Found (Not)

    Yesterday, I got a notification for a Potentially Unwanted App Found. I briefly went through the steps to find the app, but I got nowhere.

    Today, I received another notification so I took the time to research the entire paradigm for discovering the app. I opened Windows Security from the notification. I next went to App and Browser Control. However, there is no [Review] box under Reputation-based Protection. (All the settings in this section are set to Default).

    There must be something that is activating the notification, but nothing is showing up either on Microsoft or Malware Fighter. Any assistance would be appreciated as this is already becoming annoying. I am running Version 21H1 (OS Build 19043.1826).

    installOPenFile.exe potentially unwanted app

    Acpana Business Systems installOpenFile.exe is being called a potentially unwanted app by Windows Security. OS is Win 10 Pro, Version 22H2, build 19045.1949. Program has a digital signature with Timestamp of April 18, 2018. Program is used with Data Deposit Box backup system to backup open files. How does one clear this "error" without removing the program?

    Thank you,
