Default What defines "Potentially unsafe applications" and "Potentially unwanted"?

Is there some way we can discern what programs are on these lists?

I don't want them to kill my remote admin software (say DameWare, VNC or Bomgar), but I'm not sure what else I'm opening the door to if I disable these.

Default Re: What defines "Potentially unsafe applications" and "Potentially unwanted"?

you'd be killing some ad-ware that 'might' be unwanted. like those google toolbar'ish things and so.
the usual "real" hijacker ads would be gone anyway, but sometimes the half-way bad ones are installed by your own free will
also, applications that crack/change antivirus softwarw and so o n (who knows if they disable the antivirus, whilst "unlocking" free upgrades...)
