    But it sounds like this added files / drivers or something, not just antivirus rules?

      Turns out it was a content update that caused the driver to crash but the update itself wasn’t a driver (as per their latest update.)

        Looks like they’re delivering “code as content” to get around the rigour of getting an updated driver authorised by MS. I realise they can’t wait too long for driver approval for antivirus releases but surely - surely - you have an ironclad QA process if you’re playing with fire like this.
