Why is 160wifi considered as PUP (PUP.Optional.160Wifi)?

[AyeAyeCaptain]

It is a hotspot sharer software.

I searched about the software in Google, even Majorgeeks as the only download portal I trust, lists it as a part of its software collection.

Hi AyeAyeCaptain

 

It had  been listed because there was a version being pushed on download wrappers back ~ 6months which contained a backdoored driver component.

We listed as potentially unwanted at the time because of this and the fact the distributing wrapper was force installing it.

However on current review we are no longer seeing the bad version being pushed recently so will delist the detection of the software on the next update cycle today.

Thanks for reporting this
