I get the potentially unwanted app (PUA) found, go to settings, security, app and browser control 

and see Actions recommended. PUA found Click on review, again get PUA found. Do you want this 

app to make changes to your device. Click NO. But still have PUA. How do I get rid of this?

    There is no name of the app. That is part of the problem.

    Never mind. I found the solution on another forum. I needed to say YES not NO to do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device.

    Hi Sue,

    Can you please provide a screenshot of the error report you are seeing in Defender.

    Hi Sue

    I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    Clicking no, would just stop that app from making changes to your PC, if that is really an unwanted app, then it needs to be uninstalled.

    What is the name of the app that is being flagged in Defender?
