There are people responsible for the security of Windows systems in some organisations that do not understand their job. They look into their AV solution and it says vulnerable file detected on $x systems and they instruct their IT department to remove the file.

Indeed. Whole companies such as Crowdstrike exist just to sit in between automated tools and heavy-handed action based on tool output.
Ive been actually impressed by Crowdstrike product (I guess)

Ive tested a two or three years old Chrome version with JIT compiler vulnerability and guess what - on empty Linux vm it managed to escape chrome and execute code

Meanwhile on Windows with Crowdstrike Chrome just showed some error message about mem. access

Im not sure who handled that attack - was it Windows or Crowdstrike, but eitherway Ive been impressed
