These include, for example: adware that displays unwanted advertisements, browser hijackers that change the browser's default settings, rogueware that pretends to be a legitimate antivirus program, software that is installed without the user's consent.
How are PUAs blocked?
Microsoft uses a number of methods to block PUAs. They use a database of known PUAs to detect and block them. Microsoft analyzes application behavior to detect PUAs that do not behave like legitimate applications. Microsoft uses user feedback to detect new PUAs.
