How to Whitelist Microsoft Windows Defender

Microsoft includes the Windows Defender antivirus program. If Windows Defender alerts on DeepArmor, whitelist DeepArmor with Windows Defender. For example, on Windows 10:

1. Open Windows Defender Security Center
2. Click Virus & threat protection
3. Click Virus & threat protection settings
4. Scroll down to Exclusions
5. Click the Add or remove exclusions
6. Click the Add an exclusion button to display a drop-down list
7. Select Folder
8. Continue with the on-screen directions to add the new folder exclusion. Add a folder exclusion for each of the DeepArmor folders listed in the section below titled DeepArmor Directories/Folders to Whitelist.

   Note: To remove an exclusion, perform the same procedure and in the selection step, select the item to remove and click the Remove button.
