What Is PUP.Registry Tuner?
PUP.Registry Tuner is a type of potentially unwanted program that is designed to modify system settings, often under the guise of improving system performance or providing additional functionality. However, these modifications can lead to a range of problems, including slowed system performance, increased risk of malware infections, and compromised system security.
