[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 956312, member: 32260"] It is possible that in some situations Defender can misinterpret the change of CFA settings from ON to Audit. The Favorites folder is not protected in Audit mode (only alerts are shown) and maybe Defender thinks that ConfigureDefender is responsible. It seems that some other applications or some special Windows settings have to be involved, because I have never heard about such behavior. I could not also reproduce this issue on my computers. :unsure: [/QUOTE]
