If you are running Microsoft Defender, the exclusions below should be added for the following AZT folders, files, and processes.
| File or Folder name | Type | Exclusion | Comment |
| C:\Program Files\Aria | File or folder (Windows) | Real-time and scheduled | ARIA AZT |
| C:\ProgramData\Aria | File or folder (Windows) | Real-time and scheduled | ARIA AZT |
| C:\Windows\System32\drivers\AztAgent.sys | File or folder (Windows) | Real-time and scheduled | ARIA AZT |
| C:\Program Files\Aria\bin\TrustUtil.exe | Process (Windows) | Real-time and scheduled | ARIA AZT |
If you remove these exclusions, you may see alerts for the AZT Tamper countermeasure. Please note that this is NOT a critical alert and will have no impact on Microsoft Defender.
