    I have AutoKMS.exe and KMSEmulator.exe popping up as constant false positives from the Real Time shield. These are not detected on the on demand scans because I have added exceptions for both files under the exceptions page on the general settings menu (since this menu will allow all on-demand scans to make an exception, instead of individually adding it to each scan's settings page).

    Now, I tried adding the exact same exceptions to the exclusions page for the real time shield.. but on boot when KMSEmulator/AutoKMS do a one time run.. I still get a pop up saying a PUP has been detected.

    I can either turn off PUP scanning for the real time shield, which I would prefer not to do, or figure out why adding this exception works for on-demand scans, but not the real time shield.

    Any insight? Thanks.
