Here's a good description... Q. What is a Potentially Unwanted Application (PUA)? A. The Sophos definition of a PUA is (quote) "a term used to describe an application that is not inherently malicious, but is generally considered unsuitable for the majority of business networks. Potentially unwanted applications include adware, diallers, remote administration tools and hacking tools." PUAs shouldn't be confused with viruses, which are always malicious and never wanted. They are merely things which are installed alongside other applications (typically freeware and shareware applications) which you most likely do not want installing as well.
