How your business can avoid potentially unwanted programs
PUP.Optional.BundleInstaller is a generic detection that is used for bundle installers, aka bundlers.
Bundlers are typically installed by the users themselves, who are often unaware of the extra software that will be offered or even installed without giving the user a choice. Users typically agree to install the bundler because they want the main program the bundler has to offer.
Malwarebytes protects users from PUP.Optional.BundleInstaller by using real-time protection.
