  1. Windows Defender Flagged Trusted Site


    I was recording using the system a game implemented and controlled folder access flagged it. I know it's trusted it's very popular, maybe top five and I'm wondering if I can remove it from protection history/prevent it from happening.Thanks.

    Defender Flagged Windows ISO

    Performed a manual WD quick scan. It flagged a PUA as severe, Active.
    PUA:Win32/Shoppers.

    Examining (Defender History) the threat with Defender to my surprise revealed:

    The ISO was downloaded from the download link provided on (Windows News)this Forum.
    Did Windows Defender just shoot MS in the foot. Is it a false positive?
    Just to err on the side of caution, I successfully removed the threat, with some difficulties, if you can't trust Windows Defender who can you trust.
    Any ideas what this all about would be welcomed.

    Hi everyone.
    I am not an expert about Vpn and that's why I would like to know if someone could list me a few trusted Vpns, I would really appreciate any suggestion/ advice.

    Windows Defender Flagged Trusted Site

    Unable to Remove Exclusions from Windows Defender

    Thank you for posting back. If you trust a file, file type, folder, or a process that Windows Defender Antivirus has detected as malicious, you can stop Windows Defender Antivirus from alerting you or blocking the program by adding the file to
    the exclusion list. It seems that it was added automatically. We suggest that you follow these steps:

    • Go to Settings and select Update & security.
    • Click Windows Defender.
    • Look for Exclusions and select Add an exclusion.
    • Navigate to the file, folder, or process, and select Exclude this file.

    If the steps provided did not work, we recommend that you boot your device to
    Safe Mode
    and redo the process.

    Let us know if you need further assistance.
