Description
I am analyzing some malware on Windows 10. I installed FLARE VM, disabled tamper protection and disabled the virus scanner in the registry. However when I attempt to run a malware, Windows is still preventing me from running it. What am I missing to get this to work?
I disabled it by adding `DisableAntiSpyware` to `HKLM/Software/Policies/Microsoft/Windows Defender` and setting it to `1`.
