Windows Defender hidden command for adware block

Windows 10's antivirus software (Windows Defender) appears to allow them . Not for everyone:

A hidden setting intended for organizations and companies can enhance it of Windows Defender, blocking adware, or PUPs from potentially unwanted programs or as you otherwise want to name the particular garbage.Windows Defender

Adware software is usually contained in free software installers. It's technically not malware, but it often shows ads, tracks your browsing, and slows down your computer.

Τα προγράμματα το Malwarebytes διαθέτουν επίσης μια ρύθμιση που εμποδίζει αυτά τα "δυνητικά ανεπιθύμητα προγράμματα." Ας πάμε όμως στο Windows Defender. Η εφαρμογή Microsoft can block these apps but does not do so by default.

Below we will see how to enable this setting with a PowerShell command (with administrator rights).

At type powershell and on the icon that appears right click to run it as administrator. Alternatively, press Windows+X together and go to “Windows PowerShell (Admin).”

Copy-paste the following command and press Enter:

Set-MpPreference -PUAProtection 1

The exclusion for each είναι πλέον ενεργοποιημένος. Αν μελλοντικά θέλετε να τον απενεργοποιήσετε στο μέλλον, τρέξτε την ίδια εντολή, αντικαθιστώντας το "1" με "0".

How to Check if Crapware Blocking is On

To check whether the block is enabled, you can run the two following commands in the PowerShell box.

Copy and paste the commands separately.

$ Preferences = Get-MpPreference
$ Preferences.PUAProtection

If you see "1" as a result, blocking is enabled. If you see "0", it is disabled.
