Lots of good comments about MS Defender out here but I can't find anyone weighing in on "should I use MS Defender" on my Mac (or other devices)?

I have MS 365 and it comes with.

Thanks!!!!

Will Microsoft Defender interfere with Apple OS protection on my iMac, iPad Air4, and/or iPhone 13 Pro In renewing my MS 365 for my desktop iMac I set up MS Defender. It asked for other devices so I downloaded to my iPad and iPhone. Does this interfere with the OS protection on my devices? I have gotten 2 text as follows: Mobile Security Notification: Your device is vulnerable because of these three apps. Ensure your safety by uninstalling them without delay: skqbnd.com/8UE4Yv there is no name or identifier, just a phone number, which has no info when I click on it. I am thinking it is a scam but it now has me concerned about interference with OS security.
