Malwarebytes identifies and detects Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUPs) by identifying and detecting them and giving the user the right to choose whether they continue using their services. Learn why we do this, and how software programs can be reconsidered as legitimate under our PUP criteria. The programs themselves might have legitimate uses, but their vendors often use inappropriate methods to drive downloads or hide within a program bundle. A federal court in California agreed that customers should have the ability to decide which software runs on their computers and dismissed Enigma’s initial claims.”]
