I am getting really cheesed off with Windows Defender identifying
Nirsoft ProduKey as malware, every time I do a fresh install, and it's
been lots recently, I have to fight Defender to leave it alone.
I try hard to keep a list of what Office & Windows keys I have used on
which machine but occasionally I need to check. I can't see it can cause
me harm, it's just protecting Microsoft (although I think all antivirus
apps treat it as malware now).
Is there a thumbdrive that I can put it on the lock so Defender can't
touch it? If not could I burn it to a CD or would Windows try and delete
it from that??

Windows defender/Settings tab/Excluded files & locations.
Why not keep the product key in a text file.
I'll have to look for a ThumbDrive with a write only switch I think.

Wow they're hard to find, I got a "Netac" - only one at a reasonable price.
I downloaded the Nirsoft complete pack to the Thumbdrive, tried to
download the network pack but Brave wouldn't let me. Turned off security
in Brave and downloaded.
Disconnected from the network, turned off Windows Defender, unzipped
them, pushed the switch to locked, turned on Windows Defender.
It really cheeses me off because these tools are perfectly safe and I
don't think it's me they are trying to protect me but MSFT.
Tools that can be used by hackers it the reason I heard why a lot of
scanners will flag them.
To make a USB stick read only you can use USB Flash Drives Control from >Binsoft, but if you're reinstalling windows often it might not be suitable.

Another option is WSCC (Windows System Control Center) which is free for >personal use & portable.
