[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 880875, member: 32260"] Yeah. This alert is not related to ConfigureDefender application, but to the concrete setting in the registry. It seems that you somehow changed the WD settings (probably by ConfigureDefender) which were later reverted by WD Tamper Protection. :) "With tamper protection, malicious apps are prevented from taking actions like these: [LIST] [*]Disabling virus and threat protection [*]Disabling real-time protection [*][COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)][B]Turning off behavior monitoring[/B][/COLOR] [*]Disabling antivirus (such as IOfficeAntivirus (IOAV)) [*][B][COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]Disabling cloud-delivered protection[/COLOR][/B] [*]Removing security intelligence updates" [/LIST] [URL unfurl="true"]https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/threat-protection/windows-defender-antivirus/prevent-changes-to-security-settings-with-tamper-protection[/URL] The red entries are available in ConfigureDefender, but will be prevented if Tamper Protection is ON.
