Shanester Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 Greetings, Norton Antivirus 22.9.1.12 detected the PUA.InstallCore virus in the utorrent.exe download.The FAQ says that if someone installs a partner offer during installation, that this could be detected during a virus scan. However, I didn't install any partner offers during installation. Does anyone know what the PUA.InstallCore virus is? Thanks, Shane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PiusX Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 Did you search online to see what PUA.InstallCore referenced? What version are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanester Posted March 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 PUA is a Potentially Unwanted Application. The application being the installer itself (InstallCore), not the offer. It looks like this installer is mostly used to install applications without permission. I have uTorrent version 3.4.9 (build 43388) 32-bit. Is my signature not showing? Thanks, Shane.

DreadWingKnight Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 So, in short, norton is continuing to be an overparanoid piece of garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HedgehogInTheCPP Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 All is correct. During installation, utorrent downloads from the network of third-party software and installs it. So the detected infection is absolutely correctly determined. The utorrent installer is the source of the PUA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
