    Remove PUA?


    Hi!I have made a full reset of my computer removing everything, cleaning the drive and installing Win 11 from cloud. After that Windows Defender says it found a threat: PUABundler:Win32/FileZilla_BundleInstallerI probably had FileZilla installed some years ago, but I did not reinstall it after the computer reset.1 Did this PUA survive the full reset? Just trying to figure out where this is coming from.2 How do I get rid of it? I tried to use the MS Safety Scanner and the ESET online scanner, but none of them found the threat.Thanks!

    :)

    pua notification won,t go away

    Hi #seahawk#

    Thank you for the screenshot, Defend does not list the app it considers to be a PUA, the best option is to perform an offline scan with Defender, then download the free version of Malwarebytes and run a full scan with that, those scans should remove the PUA from your PC.

    Remove PUA?

    PUA not deleted or quarantined by Windows Defender

    HI, I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    A PUA is not actually malware, it is an application on your PC that Defender deems to be possibly unsafe.

    Please provide a screenshot of the history list in Defender showing the PUA's it has found on your PC.
