  1. Windows Defender issues


    I'm using a program called Auto-Py-to-Exe which creates an exe out of python files. Windows Defender detects one of these files as a file used in a Trojan program called something like K1!3. How can I make it so Defender doesn't constantly nag at me about it?

    :)

    We suggest you to avoid installing any cleaner or anti-virus software that may interrupt the function of Windows Defender. Make sure that Windows Defender is always on. To do this follow these steps:

    • On the Start menu, type Windows Defender and hit enter.
    • Click Settings.
    • Turn Real-time protection on.
    We also recommend you to install the latest update for Windows Defender.
