Any kind of malware exists with the only target – gain money on you 1 . And the programmers of these things are not thinking of ethicality – they use all possible tactics. Taking your personal data, getting the comission for the ads you watch for them, exploiting your system components to mine cryptocurrencies – that is not the full list of what they do. Do you like to be a riding equine? That is a rhetorical question.

What does the pop-up with PUA:Win32/Puamson.A!ml detection mean?

The PUA:Win32/Puamson.A!ml detection you can see in the lower right side is shown to you by Microsoft Defender. That anti-malware software is quite OK at scanning, however, prone to be mainly unreliable. It is unprotected to malware invasions, it has a glitchy interface and problematic malware clearing features. Hence, the pop-up which says concerning the Puamson is just an alert that Defender has actually found it. To remove it, you will likely need to use another anti-malware program.

Microsoft Defender: “PUA:Win32/Puamson.A!ml”

PUA:Win32/Puamson.A!ml unwanted program is a case in point of PUA, which are pretty widespread nowadays. Being free to use, it may offer you “the extended capabilities” for the extra payment. Some examples of this program type can have no real functions whatsoever – only the shell with the bright interface. You can see it advertised as a system optimization tool, driver updater or torrent downloadings tracker. This or another way it does not give you any actual capability, exposing you to risk instead.

Unwanted Program Summary:

Is PUA:Win32/Puamson.A!ml dangerous?

I have already detailed that PUA:Win32/Puamson.A!ml PUA is not as harmless as it plays to be. The “legit and helpful” tool may abruptly uncover itself as a downloader trojan, spyware, backdoor, or coin miner virus. And you can never foresee what to look for even from different examples of Puamson unwanted program. That still does not imply that you have to panic – perhaps, this unpleasant thing has not succeeded to do negative things to your computer.

The particular harm to your system can be triggered not just because of the malware injection. A large share of questionable programs, like the Puamson app is, is just poorly programmed. Possibly, their actions are quite effective than worthless if done on specific system setups, however, not on each one. That’s how an uncomplicated system optimization tool may create chaos with constant BSODs on your system. Any interruptions to the system registry are dangerous, and they are a lot more unsafe if made with such programs.

How did I get this virus?

It is difficult to line the origins of malware on your computer. Nowadays, things are mixed, and distribution ways used by adware 5 years ago can be used by spyware nowadays. But if we abstract from the exact spreading method and will think about why it works, the explanation will be quite uncomplicated – low level of cybersecurity awareness. People press on advertisements on odd sites, open the pop-ups they get in their browsers, call the “Microsoft tech support” thinking that the strange banner that says about malware is true. It is important to recognize what is legit – to avoid misconceptions when trying to figure out a virus.

Microsoft Tech Support Scam

Nowadays, there are two of the most widespread ways of malware distribution – lure emails and also injection into a hacked program. While the first one is not so easy to evade – you need to know a lot to recognize a counterfeit – the 2nd one is easy to address: just don’t utilize hacked apps. Torrent-trackers and other sources of “totally free” applications (which are, actually, paid, but with a disabled license checking) are just a giveaway point of malware. And PUA:Win32/Puamson.A!ml is simply one of them.
