Vista - Windows Defender - enable

I have just installed a new piece of software (Corel Friends and Family) that
I would like to have start automatically (by default this should happen when
it is installed).

Windows Defender reprost the app as being "Not yet classified" and therefore
won't start it.

When I open windows defender all the options for this app are greyed out
until I choose "Show for all suers" then Remove and Disable are active, but
Enable isn't.

Is there any way to force Windows Defender to accept this program and Enable
it?

I am having the same problem with my TIVO server. I would appreciate an
answer as well.

Cheeto,

I found a way to submit the request to have the program recognized - but the
reporting system responded with a message saying that it was for
companies/developers use... so no resolution yet.

OK, let's keep working it. Hopefully, someone will have an answer soon.

Jeff, i'm curious, how did you submit the request?

Thanks,

I am having a similar problem with DYNDNS Updater, which Defender is
blocking at startup. "Enable" is grayed out so there seems to be no way to
manually override the blocking action. As administrator, it would seem
logical that if I want to override a setting I should be able to. Is there a
work around for this?
TIA

I was wondering if anyone has found a solution to this?

I am in a Corporate Environment where we run some some small applications on the desktops which cannot be enabled because "ENABLE" it is grayed out in Windows Defender.
