Why Avast doesn’t have PUP detection turned on by default? That could make detection better. Maybe that’s why Avast scored 98% on test.

PUP is not malware. PUP = Potentially Unwanted Programs

Malwarebytes pup criteria >> https://www.malwarebytes.com/pup/

I know that PUP is not malware but I still think that detection would be better with PUP setting turned on. Come on guys, who likes having PUP on PC? All other antiviruses have this option turned on by default.;D

Either way PUP’s is irrelevant to this topic

It does not help when PUP is not part of the sample set used in the test
