I have already uninstalled Microsoft Defender following Microsoft [instructions](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/security/defender-endpoint/mac-resources?view=o365-worldwide#uninstalling) : > Interactive uninstallation > > Open Finder > Applications. Right click on Microsoft Defender for Endpoint > Move to Trash. Defender is not in my Applications folder anymore. However, **System Settings** > **Network** > **Filters** > **Filters & Proxies** still show Microsoft Defender, and it is enabled but with a yellow dot. enter image description here This filter does not have enabled the option to disable. Any suggestion how to get rid of this filter? **Update:** after restarting the machine, the icon is gone, but filter/proxy still shows up: enter image description here
