Potentially Unwanted Software (Notice I)
If turned on, Windows Defender will search your hosted system, computer, or server for “spyware,” “adware” and other potentially unwanted software. If it finds potentially unwanted software, the software may or may not ask you if you want to ignore, disable (quarantine) or remove it. Any potentially unwanted software rated “high” or “severe” will automatically be removed after scanning unless you change the default setting. Removing or disabling potentially unwanted software may result in other software on your computer ceasing to work or your breaching a license to use other software on your computer. By using this software, it is possible that you will also remove or disable software that is not potentially unwanted software.

Potentially Unwanted Software (Notice II)
If turned on, third party anti-virus software may search your hosted system, computer or server for dangerous software, including, but not limited to “spyware,” “adware” “viruses” “malware” “crypto-ware” and other potentially unwanted or dangerous software. If it finds potentially unwanted software, the software may ask you if you want to ignore, disable (quarantine) or remove it. Depending on the severity, anti-virus software may automatically delete threats determined to be critical in nature. The use of such anti-virus software carries the risk that it may disable software that it is not potentially dangerous; this is typical with all anti-virus products and customer accepts this risk.
