Hi all,

A question from our desktop management group:
-----------------
Do you have an approach to addressing Potentially Unwanted Applications
(PUAs)?  We get alerts from Sophos for PUAs, but need to confirm if the
software in the alert is a problem. Example: "PDFCREATORSETUP.EXE" -- part
of "Install Core Installer"
-----------------

Thanks

Janine
