PUP - possibly unwanted programs.. makes your system slow to a crawl like a virus.. all to send data to a company from a box I bought.
Super frustrating - open a win 10/11 laptop - wait.. wait.. try to click and open.. still wait.. keep waiting.. eventually open up task manager to see what's dragging it down.
Especially bad if you are running a spinning hard drive and not an SSD - omg! why did I even get a pentium chip?
The drive can't keep up with all the system / telemetry / msoffice oneclick something running (and I NEVER have used office on said box) - all the things
- this is one of the main bad effects of a virus on your system - making it super slow and hard to get things done.
It's almost like a cyrpto mining malware - uses up your cycles and slows you down to help them mine some gold.
