In the event that MBAM decides to stick with this classification, keep in mind that a PUP is ultimately a user-choice: what one person deems "unwanted", another person might consider useful. If you delete the WinPatrol-related files, you'll "break" WinPatrol's ability to uninstall itself. I am taking for granted that MBAM can determine which program (e.g., WinPatrol) is being uninstalled in these cases. But I would suspect that no one would consider WinPatrol's UNinstaller to be a PUP. Given the response on 18 March (above) that it was indeed an F/P then, I would expect the same result now.Ī PUP is a Potentially Unwanted Program, so there is room for debate there (in general). I suggest we wait for an official response from someone on the MalwareBytes team, now that this issue has been brought to their attention.
