Summary
This application was stopped from running on your network because it has a poor reputation. This application can affect the quality of your computing experience. For example, some potentially unwanted applications can:
- Install additional bundled software
- Modify your homepage
- Modify your search provider
- Perform other actions that you might not have intended
This potentially unwanted application scans your PC and finds dubious "problems" (for example, junk files) and asks for payment to fix them. The application also shows advertisements outside its own aplication.
If you were trying to install an application, you might have downloaded it from a source other than the official product's website.
You should contact your IT representative or network administrator to find how you can install legitimate programs while connected to your network.
