I don't want this. I want Zone alarm. I tried to run a downloaded program that is trusted and I have used for years. DIGIGUIDE. I get Defender has prevented this from running. I click MORE and run anyway. Now when try to run it I get this. I am ruunning AVG for my antivirus

Quess waht????? I am the Administrator. This is a home computer. There is only one computer. It is set as administrator. So who is this OTHER administrator?

I think you can just bypass that as presumably you’re the administrator?

The problem appears to be nothing to do with Defender, it is being blocked because it has an invalid digital signature, it expired in 2016.

Defender is current, and the best you'll get for free.
Those other programs you mentioned are so "Old School" and no longer recommended.
So I won't even tell you how to get rid of Defender, because as an old Computer Tech, from way back, I use Defender.

    Given to me as DEAD, and irreparable.
    Rebuilt with Gigabyte mobo, AMD cpu, 16GB ram and 500GB Crucial SSD.
I have Digiguide installed with Defender running. I installed it last year when I did a clean Windows setup.
It runs at startup with no issues either.

Bree, this is an interesting bit. How do you get to digital certtificate information? I go to start -> All apps. But all I get under right click more is uninstall, pin and run.
