This is a clean certified application by AppEsteem https://customer.appesteem.com/vendors/DRVHQ. Please review this app and let me know what's the reason it is flagged as PUP or it is a false positive detection. 

 

Here is the full certified app requirement https://customer.appesteem.com/Home/AppCertReqs from AppEsteem, a company

believes software monetization industry needs regulation. It focuses on certifying app, helping consumer to never be exposed to apps (windows App, Chrome extension, mobile Apps) that:

1)       Do things without their informed consent

2)       Give them unpleasant surprises

3)       Leave them feeling cheated after paying for something

Thank you! May we know the investigation progress? It has been a week since we sumitted this case. If it is not a FP, please let us know what's the issue that app should fix to improve based on your detection criteria. If it is a FP, please help to solve the detection and update the signature in VT.

 

Thanks!
