how to use an application that has a virus on windows 10

Have you ever gotten a software that was downloaded from the official website and the application is well known like a cheat engine or a cryptocurrency miner software but it is considered dangerous and cannot be used because Windows Defender detects a virus.

 

Software similar to the two software will not be able to be used because there is a virus in it so that Windows Defender will automatically block the use of the software.

 

• Easy way

Actually it's easy to repair or reuse software that has been blocked, by typing virus & threat protection in the start menu then open after opening and a display like the image below where the scanned virus is found.

We can choose several options that can be done against the virus that is allowed (box1), deleted (box2) or quarantined (box3) if we want to use the software we have to choose allow (box1) then start action (box4). that way the software will be able to be used again.

 

 

The above method is the easiest solution to make an exception for software that has a virus so that it can be reused but this method will make the software part that has been labeled as a virus deleted or lost if we do not immediately allow it, also in the future the software will be labeled again as software dangerous.

 

• The proven way

That's why I give you another solution that can make you use software that is considered dangerous by Windows, by creating a special folder where all the data is also the installation of various software that is considered dangerous and making Windows Defender ignore the folder so that all existing software and will installed in that folder is ignored. 

Alright, let's start from opening the virus & threat protection by writing it in the start menu (box1) then we open (box2) after it opens then you look for the virus & threat protection setting (box3) option then click manage settings (box4) the display will change as shown under

Here you scroll down until you see the exclusions option(box1) then you click add or remove exclusions(box2) the display will change back and become like the image below

As explained by microsoft(box1) everything that belongs to the existing category(Box2) will be excluded or will not be scanned by windows defender antivirus , we will select folder(box3) this option will exclude all other files or folders as well as file extensions that contained in it, excluded by windows defender like our original purpose

 

 

Alright, that's it for this tutorial, you can install new software that is considered dangerous into a folder that has been excluded so that the new software is not automatically scanned, lastly if you want to restore the existing settings you only need to remove one of the categories in the list.
