Windows 10: Entering to a global windows defender whitelist

Hello all,

I was wondering if there is a global whitelist for the windows defender,
and if so, is there a way to submit an application for review?

:)

 

According to Windows Defender DDU has Malware in it.

Add DDU to the exclusion list either from there or the settings for Defender. Then you'll be fine. I've used DDU for years, and as-long-as you downloaded it from a reputable source you should be fine. If they offer MD5 hash checks that might be worth doing to make sure though if you're concerned your version is malicious.

Windows Defender Firewall Whitelist application names

The names of the applications in my Windows Defender whitelist are unintelligible jargon. Is this normal now?

To be able to view the proper name of the app in the whitelist I have to click details.

Tried sfc /scannow but it's still the same. Any ideas?

Version 1709
