Windows Security advice

Options
the "app & browser control" part of my the Windows Security on my computer says action is needed.
When i click on "review" it goes to "protection history", which lists 2 potentially wanted items. Both items are listed as 17-3-24 & called PUA:Win32/Presenoker.
I don't know what they are or what button to click on. See screenshots below.
Can anyone help?

    Threat is Low! So quarantine it for now probably a cookie tracking off a download even if you remove I doubt you will notice anything.

    It's coming from a coupon printer download you made 

    Did you download this? Do you use it and is it from a reputable source?

    Is yes just click ignore if not quarantine and uninstall the coupon printer

    A few programs will flag this sort of behaviour up but are fine to use 

    Ah quick Google bought up this

    The thing to note about such PUA/PUP (Potentially Unwanted App, Potentially Unwanted Programme) from any security application is the word "Potentially".
    The warning is saying 'We think that you might not want this on your machine. (Because we think that it might not be as secure as it could be.)'
    Of course that is only their opinion and it may well be something that you do want.
    Although the warning may prompt you to look for a "more secure" (in their opinion) alternative to do the same job.
