    potential threat from unwanted app


    I am trying to install a game on my computer but when I click on the install file, a window pops up telling me that Windows

    Defender has detected a potentially harmful app. What does this mean and how can I get around this issue?
    Thanks

    :)

    Potential Threats on pc?

    Defender did a quick scan and said I had a potential threat to my pc? What does that mean and what should I do about it, does anyone have any suggestions?
