[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 698747, member: 32260"] Recently, Microsoft changed the paths of MsMpEng.exe and NisSrv.exe from %ProgramFiles%\Windows Defender to %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Platform\, and Windows Defender Antivirus drivers from %Windir%\System32\drivers to %Windir%\System32\drivers\wd. Those changes could cause problems on computers protected by Software Restriction Policies (SRP). But, not in Hard_Configurator settings (ver. 3.0.1.0 and higher), because the paths: %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Windows Defender\ %Windir%\System32\drivers\ and their subfolders are whitelisted by default (they are executable but not writable).(y) [/QUOTE]
