  1. Windows Security Popup


    Good morning all,


    I have mapped my home NAS as a drive on my PC.


    Whenever I try to do anything with the files move them, open them, rename them I get the following error message;


    Windows Security

    These files might be harmful to your computer

    Your internet security settings suggest that one or more files may be harmful. Do you want to use it anyway?


    I really need these popups to stop, all of my work files are stored on my NAS so I'm using them all day, every day!


    I have tried adjusting User Account Control Settings to "never notify" which didn't work.

    I have also tried changing the settings in App & Browser Control and that didn't work. I have reset both of these to default for the time being.


    Any help would be greatly appreciated.


    Many thanks,


    Carl.

    :)

    Security popup

    Did you seek assistance/advice from McAfee?

    Any new browser extensions that need to be disabled/removed?

    WD real time protection should be disabled by the presence of McAfee on the computer. Are you using Windows Defender "Limited Periodic Scan?" If so, it's sure not doing much good, is it?

    Did you close the browser (with Task Manager if necessary)? Sometimes doing so will eliminate the issue. Restart the computer and do not restore the browser session.
