Hi Bill,
Not sure if you are one of the MS MVP's monitoring the bugs discussed
regarding Win Defender. You are very helpful and much appreciated. It would
be very nice if one of the MS Defender team who monitors the discussion board
would acknowledge noting a problem, then all of us could rest more assured MS
will at least look into the complaint.
One note about the Win Defender Tools\GeneraSettings\AdvancedOptions: If you
do place a "path" statement there, as it says will work, without the
executable, Win Defender does not "not" scan that path. You still get the NAV
denied access in their Event Viewer, for example using C:\Program
Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared\.
I have not tried the full path to a specific executable to see if that stops
Win Defender from scanning that file yet. Work stilll needs to be done in
this area.
