- Sure! To prevent Windows Defender from scanning your cryptocurrency wallet folder, you can add it to the exclusion list. This will ensure that Windows Defender skips scanning the folder and its contents. Here's how to do it: 1. Open Windows Defender Security Center. 2. Click on 'Virus & threat protection'. 3. Scroll down and click on 'Virus & threat protection settings'. 4. Under 'Exclusions', click on 'Add or remove exclusions'. 5. Click on 'Add an exclusion' and select 'Folder'. 6. Locate your cryptocurrency wallet folder and add it to the exclusion list. By adding the folder to the exclusion list, Windows Defender will no longer scan it, allowing you to keep your cryptocurrency wallet secure without any interference from the antivirus program.
