  Question for your EP team:
  
  In essence Windows Defender and SCEP are the same thing. Windows Defender indicates that 'when you exclude a process, any file associated with it will also be excluded.' SCEP & technet doesn't give you this same indication. I'm assuming that since Windows Defender and SCEP both share the same antimalware client version, engine version and definitions than shouldn't that statement also apply for SCEP??? Or does it not apply ?
