Since it is a Microsfot Program that I choose to install, can we please ask
Windows Defender to stop reporting it as malware?
 
Thank you, Bill Sanderson, I did not realize the UPH-Clean was updated, so
I'm running it now!
 
Hi Bill & Happy -

I am encountering the same problem on my tablet pc. I am also running the
prior version. I will also note in this thread if my error goes away with
the result of updated version. I am getting lazy with WSUS distribution. I
don't go out to the MS site to look for updates to the little widgets that MS
provides.

I'll have to post that as a suggestion to the WSUS group.

Cheers,

Hi All -

Just wanted to post back and let you know that was a issue with an older
version being installed. The updated version made the error disappear.
