Which alert notifies for potentially unwanted programs detected?

• A. PUP Detection Alerts
• B. Blocked Programs Alerts
• C. Malware Detection Alerts
• D. Reclassified Files Alerts

Answer: (A)

Potentially unwanted programs are software that users might install that could bundle adware, toolbars, or other risky behavior, even if not outright malware. When the endpoint security agent detects such software, it triggers a PUP Detection Alert so admins can review and decide whether to allow, quarantine, or remove it. This makes PUP Detection Alerts the appropriate notification for potentially unwanted programs. Other alerts focus on different things: Malware Detection Alerts flag confirmed malicious threats, Blocked Programs Alerts arise when a program is blocked by policy, and Reclassified Files Alerts concern changes in the security classification of files, not PUPs.
