Windows Defender scans this as a possible PUP #103

If you don't know what PUP stands for in the technical world, it stands for Potentially Unwanted Program. Can you please fix this in the future when possible?

What Windows Defender scanned was Program:Win32/Uwamson.A!ml

That is a false-positive.

That happened with me. Heres how to disable it.

  1. Open WS. (Windows Security).
  2. Go to "App and Browser Control".
  3. Click "Reputation based protection settings".
  4. Disable "Check apps and files" to disable. -THIS IS AT YOUR OWN RISK-

That happened to me too, first time it was scanned as "Joke:Win32/ScreenMate" and it was from "C:\Users\Home\Desktop\testing\BluescreenSimulator.exe". The second time it was "Program:Win32/Uwamson.A!ml" from "C:\Users\Home\Downloads\BluescreenSimulator.exe", ScreenMate was scanned as Moderate and Uwamson was scanned as low. Before I got the messages, I made a executable file for it and called it "tenu", but it was detected by Windows Defender as "Trojan:Script/Wacatac.B!ml" from "C:\Users\Home\Desktop\tenu.exe", Windows detected it as Severe, most likely because it opens a fullscreen window that you cant Alt+F4 or Alt+Tab out of, and windows does NOT know that F7 closes it, so Windows thinks its bad and its to stop users from doing anything.

Well Windows is wrong. Use MacOS or Linux lol.
