I see. You have a Windows Defender problem, but you don't want to go where

It's not a "problem" as such. I got an alert from WD advising that a change
was detected - to do with sisport.sys.

Okay. I don't know the answer, but I did tell you where you can get it.

Thankyou, ...you did, and there is still my same question pending in there -
