Here's a good description...

Q. What is a Potentially Unwanted Application (PUA)?

A. The Sophos definition of a PUA is (quote) "a term used to describe an
application that is not inherently malicious, but is generally considered
unsuitable for the majority of business networks.

Potentially unwanted applications include adware, diallers, remote
administration tools and hacking tools."

PUAs shouldn't be confused with viruses, which are always malicious and
never wanted. They are merely things which are installed alongside other
applications (typically freeware and shareware applications) which you
most likely do not want installing as well.
