    Windows defender detected PUA:Win32/CoinMiner


    Status active. I can't find the file for affected items under installer/razer.

    I have let windows defender remove it several times but it always comes back. I have uninstalled everything related to razer. Windows removes it, scans and says it's fine, then finds it again two seconds later. Also just got a prompt that some of my accounts require attention. Malwarebytes free version can't find anything.

    :)

    Windows Defender blocking PUA?

    - Notifications. same as other WD notifications (PUA at the beginning of the message)
    - False positives: hard to tell. Have none in a month or so (non PUA detections)
    - PUA blocking is only for file transfers. Nothing to do with ads themselves (only ad injection).

    From MS doc:
