    Hello,

    The default settings are the optimal ones.

    What about smart (intelligent) optimization etc.? Is it enabled by default?

    Yes, it is enabled by default in On-access scanners and Smart Scan Profile (on-demand).

    So you consider enabled detection Potentially Unwanted Programs (during install) and keeping detection of Potentially Unsafe Programs disabled as the optimall settings?

    You guys could by the way consider to include the option to enable detection of Potentially Unsafe Programs in the installer, so you have two PUP options on one installer page.

    PUsA is disabled by default. PUwA setting is user-dependant at installation process. This categories are usually for detecting grayware.
    Definitely: add a check box to enable PUsA during EAV / ESS setup. (It was added to the wishlist by many users including me)

    Yes, indeed. I should have written my question more carefully.

    I am wondering what is the reason why to include an option for PUwA (which I think most people enable detection for) in the installer, and not for PUsA? Does ESET consider PUwA as more effective? Or does ESET consider PUsA to be causing too many false positives?

    I am wondering because they are indeed for detecting greyware. But the most important threat category nowadays is in my opinion fake security/rogue software. Which is greyware, really hard to differentiate from legimate software.
