Potentially unsafe application

Potentially unwanted and suspicious applications are programs that may not be intentionally malicious but can negatively affect the performance and reliability of the system or send information to third parties. Potentially unsafe applications, such as keyloggers and password-cracking tools, can have legitimate uses but can also be malware components.
