Defender Beta 2 constant mcafee alert

[Guest]

Windows defender beta 2 show an alert for mcmnhdlr.exe every scan. I have
choose to allow this since it is the McAfee - Application Registration - Task
Scheduler, in fact I have allowed it many, many times and it keeps showing
up. McAfee scan runs every night as scheduled. Is there something that can be
done about this.

Thanks in advance,
Barry

Yes,
Copy the path it shows for mcmnhdlr.exe ; under
tools>Settings>options;scroll to the bottom; -Advanced Options-Do not scan
these files or locations: ADD; A window will pop up. Just drill down to the
exact path and hit ok. That will stop it. You might want to check your
Defender version as this option wasn't in the UI a while back; but it is in
v 1.1.1347.0. The path should now be in the box . Hope this helps,

Jeff

Thanks Jeff I'll give that a try. I also checked the version and it is up to
date.
