Defender Tools

It's difficult to tell the bad guys from the good guys. Sometimes a good program is accidentally blacklisted by Windows Defender. Windows Defenders places all of the black listed programs into Quarantine. Here are the steps you can take to unblock that program.

 

Try This: Review the Quarantined Items

Go to the Windows Defender.

Go to Tools ->Quarantined items.

There may be a list of programs in the Quarantine. You can select an item then go to Remove or Restore.

 

Some of the software in the Quarantine may have a high alert. If you allow such a program to run you may put your privacy and security at risk.

 

Try This: Review Allowed Items

There may be a list of programs that you have allowed, or white listed. Windows Defender does not monitor these programs.
