[QUOTE="SeriousHoax, post: 1015272, member: 78686"] ESET also added PUA detection for Microsoft's Bing Wallpaper, so they are a vendor who are very aggressive regarding PUA and not afraid to add detection for even popular products. I guess this detection fall under PUA which ESET users need to enable manually meaning ESET don't detect it by default. I installed Avast Free in a VM yesterday and the installation of Avast Secure Browser was ticked by default. Probably that's the main reason they have added the detection. Many Avast users would end up having Avast Secure Browser installed unintentionally if they don't pay close attention, which can be considered a PUA behavior from Avast. [/QUOTE]
