How to add Embird to the Exception List of Trend Micro

Embird Embroidery Software Tutorial

There is a known compatibility issue between Embird and Trend Micro. Trend Micro may block the startup of some Embird versions without displaying any warning message. The solution in such a case is to add the Embird (embird.exe) and Digitizing Tools (digitiz.exe) files to the exception list of Trend Micro. After all, this is the purpose of exception lists. Install Embird first and then run Embird. If it does not start, please do the following:

1. Open the Trend Micro main console and click on the Settings icon.
