Defender Blocking access to web sites

After installing Defender 2, I found I was unable to access several web sites
I needed to access, apparently due to either attached adware or spyware.
However, I was not given the option to override these blocks for these
particular sites, so I deleted Defender.

If the program limits any accessability to web sites that have embedded
adware/spyware attachments, without the ability to override, I have NO
INTEREST in the program.
 
I can't explain what happened on your system, but this is definitely not
part of the intended functionality of Windows Defender--it just doesn't work
that way. It should raise alerts about any attempt to place spyware on your
system, but not block access to a site silently.
