Am I correct to assume this only affects machines that have software from CrowdStrike installed?

No - it impacts all Windows machines running CrowdStrike Falcon Sensor software. CrowdStrike is used by a lot of companies to provide front end security protection from ransomware and other malware that uses command and control servers.

OK, but I searched for the files named in the article, and they don't exist on my machine. I do not have a "CrowdStrike" folder in Windows\System32\drivers

Who's going to protect those companies from CrowdStrike? :-)
