you can just add a Firewall rule exception to mitigate this issue in the future,
hit the windows button
Type in the word: Defender
click on "manage settings"
scroll down till you see exclusions
under exclusions click on "Add or remove Exclusions"
click on "Add an Exclusion"
select folder, and pick your DSDPlus folder wherever you put it.
just make sure when your selecting the exclusion, that you exclude the whole folder, so all your files will be left alone.
