Thomas Reed, director of Mac and mobile platforms at Malwarebytes, says the realization hit just as the company was releasing a beta to extend Ventura compatibility. This holds especially true because apps don’t even realize they’ve lost the disk access they need to perform a comprehensive scan of your files and emails.

Without Full Disk Access, real-time protection and other features simply can’t run. You may not remember, but you gave your antivirus or anti malware software that access when you first installed it. In order to scan your files and emails for potentially harmful software, apps like Malwarebytes require Full Disk Access.
