    Why AdWare protection , PUA ,and PUP protection are not enabled by default in windows...


    I recently saw this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXALM70DfGI ( from britec09) , and he showed us in this video how to enable these protections , and now , why these protections are not enabled by default ? WD is a good antivirus , and i've hever had problems with it and with the viruses , but I didin't even expected at this , because , all of you probably know that every AV comes with these protections. I will enable these protections through Registry Editor , it will probably help me on the future.

    :)

    Does Windows 10 Defender protect against junk and spam email?

    Does Defender filter/scan your incoming mail? No.

    Does Defender check for possible malware when you open an email or click on a link in an email or open an attachment? Yes, if all is well with your computer and especially if you're running Win10 Version 1607 & have enabled the PUA/PUP/adware option =>

    Windows Defender PUP/PUA protection blocked BitTorrent

    I turned on Windows Defender PUA/PUP protection and then tried to install BitTorrent, but the process was blocked and BitTorrent was deleted. Does BitTorrent really contain a virus? Is there a way to make sure while still keeping the PC safe and to add
    an exception for it if it's safe?
