  One way to protect your digital assets from false positive alerts from Windows Defender is to add the cryptocurrency trading platform or wallet software to the exclusion list in Windows Defender. This will prevent Windows Defender from scanning and potentially flagging the software as a false positive. To do this, open Windows Defender, go to the Virus & threat protection settings, and add the specific software to the exclusion list. This will ensure that your digital assets are not mistakenly flagged as malicious by Windows Defender.
