adds support for PUA (Potentially Unwanted Application) signatures (clamscan: --detect-pua, clamd: DetectPUA)

And from:

Potentially unwanted application (PUA)
Description: 	

PUA is a term used to describe an application that is not inherently malicious, but is generally considered unsuitable for the majority of business networks. Potentially unwanted applications include adware, dialers, remote administration tools and hacking tools.

Hence you may be correct about definitions.
