How to Manage Windows Defender Exclusions

Many newer forms of malware are adding an exclusion into Windows Defender when they initially bypass the antivirus. This is to prevent its detection and removal for when Windows Defender catches on and updates their virus signatures. It assumes the user manually added it.

After you’ve cleaned the system from any malware, it’s a good idea to remove any exclusions you don’t recognize.

Here’s a guide on how to manage Windows Defender exclusions:

Click the Start button / Windows logo on your Taskbar:

Select Settings:

Click Privacy & security:

Click Windows Security:

Choose Open Windows Security:

Choose Virus & threat protection:

Choose Manage Settings:

Scroll down towards the bottom of this page until you find Exclusions. Select Add or remove exclusions

From this list, you should be able to click any entries you don’t recognize and remove them. This area, by default, is empty

You’re done!

How to Turn Off Windows Defender Real-Time Protection

Here are some facts about Windows Defender with a guide on how to turn off its real-time protection

Windows Defender is the default antivirus solution for computers running Microsoft Windows 10 and 11.

You can’t uninstall or remove Windows Defender, but you can disable its real time protection.

If you install additional antivirus to the computer, Windows Defender will remain dormant on the system.

Here are the steps to toggle real-time protection:

Click the Start button / Windows logo on your Taskbar:

Select Settings:

Click Privacy & security:

Click Windows Security:

Choose Open Windows Security:

Choose Virus & threat protection:

Choose Manage Settings:

Click the bar to toggle between On and Off. Leave it in the OFF position to disable real time protection

When you are finished cleaning your system or running the software you wish to run without interference, turn Real-time protection back ON

Hopefully you found this guide useful!

How to Avoid Unwanted Pop-Ups

If you have ever been using a browser and suddenly received a pop-up such as this one:

Close the tab instead of clicking ‘Allow’ or ‘Block’

If you press “Allow”, you not only add a setting to your browser that you won’t like, but you’ll start to get inundated with notifications (FakeAlerts) such as these:

Some of these show up in your browser, and some will appear in the bottom-right corner of your screen

It’s important to note that these are fake alerts designed to scare you into clicking “Install antivirus”, “Proceed..” etc. Essentially, they want you to visit a website of their choosing. Usually they receive some sort of payment for sending you there

It’s important to be aware of what you click.

If you need help with removing this type of problem, check out DoesNotBelong as it supports many browsers, except Gecko based browsers (FireFox, WaterFox, Floorp, etc…)

If you’d like to do this yourself, open your browser (Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, etc..) and type one of these into the address bar and then press ENTER:
