Note to self, you should maybe consider not going directly from advice columns like Captain Awkward to feature reviews of antimalware products like ESET.

PUA means two very different things depending on which one of those you're reading and ESET is not capable of protecting anybody from pickup artists.

then again your average PUA is probably a potentially unwanted application made flesh, anyway.

Context wishes you could class douchebags as malware.

This! Particularly because I used to work in an area that used a lot of chemistry acronyms, and I don't speak chemist, and those sites were very rarely helpful. I did eventually find the acronym site to rule them all, and bookmarked it, but failed to realise that when I stopped working there, I would still want to know what that site was :(
