Hello,  
When metricbeat is used on a Windows machine with Trend Micro Apex one and the modules metric

```
metricbeat.modules:
  - module: system
    metricsets: ["process"]
    period: 60s

```

after a few seconds metricbeat is stopped and TM pops up with "Malicious behavior detections"

@emilie,

Unfortunately, it's not uncommon for antivirus software to flag metrics-gathering behavior as "malicious." Do you have a way of whitelisting it?
