    Threats identified by Windows Defender not removed


    Hi, my OS is Windows 10 Pro 64bit Version 2004 Build 19041.450. After performing a full scan of my SSD, Windows Defender identified a number of threats such as APP:CDisplayEx_BundleInstaller, PUA:Win32/Vtools, PUA:Win32/InstallCore, PUA:Win32/SystemChecker, PUA:Win32/PiriformBundler. I will appreciate your comments or suggestions for removal them. Many thanks.

    You can scan your computer with AdwCleaner.

    This are all "potentially unwanted software" not malware, to remove them and to remove any bloatware visit control panel "programs and features" and remove.

    If you're not sure what to remove this list may help you:

    1. Registry, disk or system cleaners
    2. Driver download or updater tools
    3. System tweak tools or system optimizers
    4. Various malware/adware removal tools or scanners
    5. Program/driver uninstallers
    6. Browser extensions of questionable reputation
    7. Various "fix" tools that claim to fix some problem
    8. warez and pirated software and material
    9. software that is not digitally signed
    10. bloatware such as the one supplied by manufacturer
    11. Any other programs that you do not need
    12. Any software that was downloaded from sites of questionable reputation

    NOTE: about point '12', site reputation is not on site in question but on other sites and what others say, not what site says.

    Make sure you don't skip anything, these are all risky and potential "threats", bloat or just unwanted.

    It could be scanning history and identifying threats that have been remediated.

    See links in this post and check.
