Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Made a note in the README. Closing for now.

I got the same error

[matterpreter]

Hey there. Please make sure that you are on latest. The Setup() method was modified and no longer has that error.

@sash322 @emanuelecesari How's it looking on your end? If everything is resolved by pulling the latest version, I'll close this one out.

[Al13n0]

I tried again even with the latest version I got the same error message.
I am testing on a Windows 10 build 17763

That's really odd. That error is related to the Setup() method, so try commenting the call in Main() and recompiling. I am unable to reproduce on my end on a164a27.

In my case the crash was the result of a registry key not existing. Adding the registry key that defendercheck is looking for fixed the issue (see below)

Add a new Dword (32-bit) value of 0 in the location above and name it DisableAntiSpyware

[matterpreter]

Ah okay. So there is a requirement that Defender be enabled, but realtime monitoring and automatic sample submission be disabled. In the original version of the Setup() method, I tried to determine the settings via the registry, but Windows really didn't like me touching them.

I think the best thing I can do right now is to make a note in the README, but I would welcome any pull request to implement the check/disable as a feature.
