Those that are intentionally difficult to locate and remove are. A simple browser add-on with PUA behavior that is easy to identify and easy to remove is not likely to be detected and removed by WSA. WSA does detect and remove many PUA's, and more are being added, but WSA does not detect all of them. Other times they 'piggy back' with other software that you installed, or try to 'sneak' onto your system entirely. but they also come with the result of added annoying pop-ups and ads. Often they are installed intentionally by you the user as browser add-ons for various tasks such as quick search tools. (Potentially Unwanted Application)These are very annoying at best in that they cause pop-us, redirect your browser home page, and other behavior that may slow down the computer and direct ads your way, but they are not actually doing anything bad like damaging files or stealing information. What you are seeing and describing is what we on the Community refer to as a PUA. The following is a bit more information about what a PUA is. What was most likely the issue was not real virus or malware, but what we refer to as PUA's. Really, that answer would be correct with pretty much any AV other than Webroot.
That is something that many other software vendors support just plain do not know or understand, so that is actually a pretty frequent answer. WSA actually runs just fine with almost any other AV. Hello gpseymour, welcome to the Community!Īvast was wrong.
