    Windows Defender finds PUA:Win32/Keygen but can't remove it.


    I recently turned App and Browser control on and Windows Defender found PUA:Win32/Keygen affecting C:\Users\********\AppData\Local\Apple Inc\CloudKit\iCloudDrive\MMCS\tmpm-0x0000000000008289

    But it cannot quarantine it or remove it.


    The file location does not seem to exist when I search for it.

    I have scanned with Malwarebytes, adwcleaner, HitmanPro, and Zemana after following advice online and none of them find PUA:Win32/Keygen.

    Do you think it is a false positive?

    Any advise on what further action I should take gratefully received.



    Windows 10 Pro Version 2004 Build 19041.388
