### Windows Defender Antivirus
The potentially unwanted application (PUA) protection feature in Windows Defender Antivirus can detect and block PUAs on endpoints in your network.
Windows Defender Antivirus blocks detected PUA files, and any attempts to download, move, run, or install them. Blocked PUA files are then moved to quarantine.
When a PUA is detected on an endpoint, Windows Defender Antivirus sends a notification to the user ([unless notifications have been disabled](configure-notifications-windows-defender-antivirus.md)) in the same format as other threat detections. The notification will be prefaced with _PUA:_ to indicate its content.
