NOD32 8 blocking for PUA

[bumblegrum 0]

Hi

 

I have attempted to download a program from a site (Ashampoo) that I have used many times before.  I would like to override this block as I have no doubts as to the safety of the site.  How do I do this, please?

 

I use Firefox as my browser and Windows 7 Professional.

 

Many thanks

I remember that Ashampoo software contains adware/pup
Anyway It's up to you.

Hello bumblegrum,

There is a reason NOD32 to do that. Please locate this log file and post it here to see more details.

If a PUA is detected, you are presented with an option to continue to the website or take no action upon detection. In the yellow alert window, you can unfold advanced options and exclude the particular PUA file from further detection.

What is a potentially unwanted application or potentially unwanted content?

The text and the screenshots in the above KB article should explain it all nicely and help you out.

I advice you against installing anything that has Ashampoo in it! they should rename theire company to A-Malware! All their apps including paid ones contain some form of phishing/data mining/ etc.

 

Used to always use Ashampoo Burning Studio and Ashampoo Photo Optimizer but I stopped once I realized what they do and how my computer behaves slower once they're installed probably because they are tracking your usage habits. It's enough that even as a paid customer, they send you endless spam if they have your e-mail!
