Microsoft releases Defender ATP for Linux:

On June 23, Microsoft released Microsoft Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) for Linux for general use.

But before you get excited while you could use this on a Linux desktop, this version of ATP is not meant for the desktop. It's to protect Linux servers from server and network threats. If you want protection for your standalone desktop, you're better off with a such as ClamAV or Sophos Antivirus for Linux.

For sysadmins and security pros, Microsoft Defender Security Center is now available for monitoring and managing security across the full spectrum of enterprise desktop and server platforms -- Android, Windows, Windows Server, macOS, and Linux.

    Not used it for a couple of years, but ISTR it also disliking a large number of PE files, though to be fair to ClamAV, a number of commercial AV packages used to treat PE files as almost viruses, the devil's spawn, trust ye not this unholy executable...

    Haven't checked for a while..haven't run Windows for quite some time.
