Summary

Corrected the AmazonCloudWatchAgent process path from 'start-amazon-cloudwatch-agent.exe' to 'amazon-cloudwatch-agent.exe' in the list of processes security software must not interfere with.

Security assessment

This is a factual correction of a file path in an antivirus exclusion table. It does not address a vulnerability or document a new security control; it merely fixes an inaccurate path.
