    Windows Defender PUA:Win32/CCleaner


    Yes so windows defender recently started picking up ccleaner as a PUA. I'm done with ccleaner based on recommendations from the community however I'd like to get rid of this notification under current threats. Clicking the start actions button doesn't do anything and the software's been removed. Any ideas?

    You shouldn't need 3rd-party apps to enable PUA protection. See this tutorial for how to enable it yourself.
