Hi Dave Russo,

Sorry for the inconvenience.
Does WiseVector StopX flag the pogo games as pups as well? Pups are detected by signature not AI, so the rate of false positive is lower than Heuristic detection. If the game installer has bundled adware, spyware or unnecessary browser toolbar, WiseVector StopX will flag it as a pup.
Please submit the files via WiseVector Stopx "upload files" directly. If the files are over 20M, please send them to virus@wisevector.com.
We will solve this problem in 24 hours.

Best Regards,
WiseVector
