DaveRo	Tech: Combining computer security programs? (23)	RE: Tech: Combining computer security programs?	11 Nov 24
I don't know whether crowdstrike used an official MS-provided interface or whether it just interfered with Windows. I suspect, but don't know, that MS allows such products to work - rather than locking them out - for commercial reasons. But Windows uses a publicly available boot procedure (EFI) - which Macs do not. Wirecutter in 2020 quotes Brian Krebs: "You Don’t Need to Buy Antivirus Software": https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/blog/best-antivirus/ But the Krebs article referred to was from 2012: Tools for a Safer PC And this is interesting - but from 2010: Anti-virus Products Mostly Ignore Windows Security Features What's the situation in 2024?
