MsMpEng.exe *is* Windows Defender: MS (Microsoft) Mp (Malware Protection) Eng (Engine) An exception does not kill a process, but exclude it from getting scanned. Are you running some other/3rd-party anti-virus program? If so, only ONE should be running at a time (as the on-demand aka realtime scanner), not multiple running at the same time. If you want to use a 3rd-party AV, disable Windows Defender. Be sure to use a 3rd-party AV that properly registers itself in Windows which will have Windows grant the 3rd-party AV as the antimalware protector. The "instructions" came from where, specifically? Just because you found something on the Web doesn't mandate it is valid, or applies in your situtation.
