Hi everyone,

So i've been downloading (rsload) from the megathread, and windows defender won't cooperate. I'm basically 99.9% sure there is in fact nothing harmful, but defender detects a virus and refuses to let me set it as an exception. Even if i try it literally refuses to let me and i haven't been able to install anything (software, patches, nada). Anyone know a work around?

IIRC you can disable it entirely with Group Policy Editor which is only available on Pro. I think there was a hack to enable it on Home so you could make Defender shut up once and for all...at least until the next Windows update that reenables it because Windows doesn't care about your configuration.
