be malware. There could be privacy implications

here, of course, hence the option of joining.

Next, we were asked whether we wanted

ESET Cyber Security to detect PUAs – potential

unwanted applications. These are apps that are

considered by some to break various rules. Perhaps

they’re too heavy with their advertising, or perhaps

they’re essentially poor‑quality apps that are driven

more by marketing than by their usefulness.

Alas, while these questions are welcome, the

rest of the installation was a let‑down. There’s no

guidance other than a handful of steps described

in a brief dialog box and an online support page

for installing the necessary kernel module that’s

required for always‑on scanning. Step‑by‑step

guides are needed.
