That'r right. SSDMI2 is the driver for Dell Support 3.1. Dell support will be
crippled and will not provide updates to your PC without that service
functioning. Defender finds Dell Support instrusive because it scans deeply
throughout the PC, but it is needed and to be expected. Check your Event
Viewer after you unblock it and make sure that the SSDMI2 service has
successfully started. If it won't, you may need to re-install Dell Support
3.1.
