All of them? From IDEs through games to email clients. Remove that malware as soon as you can. Either replace it with some more competent antivirus (not sure there are any) or don't use any antivirus at all - as a visitor of this site you should generally know what you're doing and what is and what isn't safe. I use https://github.com/jbara2002/windows-defender-remover and have been running my Windows machines without any antivirus and without any issue for years (if you ask how do I know Defender sucks if I don't run it - I do run it at work where I can't remove it - only disable it temporarily and it turns itself on again after a while).


Eclipse and IDEA both have tickets dedicated to Defender's shenanigans: https://github.com/microsoft/java-wdb/issues/9
