Windows defender prompts to run WD .exe files

When ever I restart WD Windows defender prompts me every time if I would like to run WUrapidfire.exe, weatherbug.exe, and cronhttpget.exe
I have put these processes on the exclusion list, but Windows still thinks these are malicious software. I have Start Watch monitoring WD for when it crashes or hogging too much memory so it will automatically restart WD. But it cannot proceed without me acknowledging the Windows Defender window which usually means I will find it hours later and my website is down. Any thoughts on what I can do to fix this?
