pau.gen threat

[rockycatt]

I'm trying to download a accredited casino but my webroot security tells me it is a threat [ PAU.GEN] prolly a false warning
but just what is a legit [PUA.GEN]threat is it a virus or a tracking devise /or what

Never heard of PAU, been a tech for 20 years so not sure, unless you mean PUA which is potentially unwanted app, a generic response to applications that could poise a threat because they have similar traits as known unwanted programs etc. Probably fine, run malwarebytes if your concerned.
