                Ventura Bug Disables Real-Time Security Software

   Adam Engst

   Thomas Reed reports on the Malwarebytes Labs blog that [1]a bug in
   macOS 13.0 Ventura blocks the real-time protection feature of
   Malwarebytes. The bug also affects other security software that
   requires Full Disk Access permissions. Apple is aware of the problem
   and says it will be fixed in macOS 13.1. In the meantime, Reed provides
   a simple set of steps for rescinding and resetting the Full Disk Access
   permissions for any affected software. Alternatively, just run scans in
   Malwarebytes or similar apps manually. We generally do not recommend
   the real-time protection features of anti-malware software because of
   performance and other user experience hits, but corporate security
   policies may not give you any leeway.
