      Yes but only in Windows land do you see jillions of (proprietary) drivers made by 3rd parties. Many of which self-update.

      This isn’t a driver. It’s anti-malware. Nobody on Linux puts such software in kernel space (as far as I’m aware). Root service? maybe, but that’s still a user-space process.

        It is a driver though, it runs at kernel level and intercepts system calls for logging, analysis, and potential blocking if malware type patterns are detected in the system calls.
