    My Windows 10 computer is a Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga S1, which is a first generation Yoga device.

    I generally update Windows Defender definitions when my Windows 10 Pro Version 1703 on the “Current Branch for Business” pesters me about my definitions being one week old.  Every time that I update the definitions, I run the “Quick Scan” option.  It has never found any problems on my system since I upgraded to Windows 10 from Windows 8.1.1

    However, there is a new wrinkle now with the Quick Scans.  After scanning the system, it reports that it has found nothing.  But, after I accept that message, the Windows Defender Security Center opens up and tells me that it excluded the folder – C:\ProgramFiles\(x86)\Intel\Bluetooth.

    What is happening here?  Have I been hacked?
