I have a program launched at startup by Seagate for an external drive. I am prompted at every bootup to allow/deny the program. Windows Defender shows the program FreeAgent Launcher to be "Not Yet Classified". Is there a way of changing that to "Permitted".
I am running McAfee Security System on my PC but do not seem to have a conflict as others seem to have reported.
Help please. Norman

Hi Norman K,
Welcome to Malwarebytes. I suspect that you are using Vista and that what is actually prompting you is the UAC (User Account Control) and not Windows Defender. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. To get around the UAC prompt, you can use Windows Task Scheduler to schedule Free Agent to launch as a task at startup. Note that you will have to be logged on as an administrator for this to work.
Here are a couple of easy to follow articles to help you get it done.
