    Windows Defender PUA/PUP protection is too picky


    Today WD deleted Wagnard's DDU saying it was a non safe application. I had to run the GUI interface to be able to recover it from quarantine.

    How could inform MS that this is a false positive?

    :)

  3. 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 =>

    Thanks. I would not be surprised if WD was not doing this after an update.
