Alright i give up, need help with windows defender - eviltoast

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?

    Try setting a specific folder as Exempt. Download to that folder. If something needs to be installed, pre-make whatever folder the installer is going to make and set that as Exempt too.
