So if you edit the Kernel on your version of Ubuntu, then Canonical should be held responsible? That seems like a crazy thought process. You're running software that modifies Window's internal functionality. The vendor knows it's unsupported. How can you blame the company who just made the platform you compromised? Might as well set your root password to "password" and open it to the public then complain that the security is bad.

In fact your kernel does become "tainted" if you install unsupported kernel drivers (the closest equivalent to what the problematic Windows AVs do). If your support comes from RH, SuSE or similar vendors it usually becomes limited, depending on the kind of taint.
