Windows Defender, Having to permit the same action over and over

Everyday, and each time I restart my computer, Windows Defender tells me I
have to permit "PC-Doctor, Inc.".

The path to this item is:
C:\Program Files\Dell Support Center\HWDiag\bin\PCD5SRVC.pkms

So I assume it is something DELL put on my computer. So if I permit it, it
will go away, until tommorow morning when I get up, or if I restart my
computer today. Any suggestions on how to make this go away, for good?
 
Open Defender on the Start menu. Tools menu, "Allowed Items". Add PC-Doctor,
Inc

Re: Windows Defender, Having to permit the same action over and ov

I have tried that, hence why I am here asking WHY I HAVE TO DO THIS EVERY DAY.

If you really do want that program to start with windows, here is what you
need. I've used it for 2 different programs.
1.. Remove the program from the Startup folder or the Run registry key
2.. Launch the Task Scheduler
e.g. Start Menu > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools
3.. From the Actions panel on the right, select Create Task.
4.. Go to the Security Options on the General tab
1.. Select an user account with administrative privileges
2.. Select the radio button Run only when user is logged on
3.. Check the box Run with highest privileges
5.. Go to the Triggers tab and click New.
1.. In Begin the task, select At log on
2.. In the Settings options, select All users
3.. In the Advanced Settings options, check the box Enabled
4.. Click OK to close the dialog
6.. Go to the Actions tab and click New.
1.. For Action, select Start a program
2.. In the Settings options, browse for the Program/Script you want to
execute on startup
3.. Click OK to close the dialog
7.. Go to the Settings tab
1.. Check the box Run task as soon as possible after a scheduled start
is missed
2.. Uncheck the box Stop the task if it runs longer than
8.. Make any other desired settings
9.. Click OK to save and close the task properties

My "allowed items" doesn't seem to have an add option unfortunately.
