What is the purpose of this PR / why it is needed?
Detects the unloading of Windows Defender kernel-mode drivers, such as WdFilter.sys or WdBoot.sys, which may indicate an attempt to impair or disable antivirus protections.
Adversaries may unload these drivers to bypass or disable real-time scanning, file system filtering, or ELAM (Early Launch Anti-Malware) protections. Legitimate driver unloads are rare and should be investigated to rule out malicious tampering or post-exploitation activity.
