# Windows Defender
Since we use [VMProtect](https://vmpsoft.com/)
and
[Code Virtualizer](https://www.oreans.com/)
\
Our launcher file might be marked as a trojan by the windows defender, hence we advice to add your disks to exclusions, so the windows defender doesnt remove the launcher file.
\\
\ Do not remove the windows defender, add the disks to exclusions instead, it is better for your windows.
**Instruction via PowerShell**
1. Open powershell as Administrator
2. Insert commands
```powershell:no-line-numbers
Add-MpPreference -ExclusionPath 'C:\'
Add-MpPreference -ExclusionPath 'D:\'
Add-MpPreference -ExclusionPath 'E:\'
Add-MpPreference -ExclusionPath 'F:\'
Add-MpPreference -ExclusionPath 'G:\'
Add-MpPreference -ExclusionPath 'H:\'
```
**Adding disks to exclusions manually**
1. Open windows defender settings.
2. Go to Virus & Threat protection.
3. Press Manage Settings under Virus & threat protection settings
4. Scroll to the bottom and find Exclusions settings, press Add or remove exclusions.
5. In the opened tab press Add an exclusion, then select Folder
6. Now go to This pc and select your disks one by one.
