does any antivirus software report it?
I guess not, and it shows once again, that they are literally useless resource hogs
- From the article:
  ESET already considers it a potentially unwanted program
  From there, that categorization means:
  A potentially unwanted application (PUA) is a program that contains adware, installs toolbars, or has other unclear objectives. There are some situations where a user may feel that the benefits of a potentially unwanted application outweigh the risks.
Microsoft truly have not been hit with enough class-action suits in their history
