Apple has released several macOS security updates in 2022 that significantly improve Mac security.
Apple has quietly introduced a new XProtect Remediator tool to scan for malware in macOS Monterey 12.3, according to developer Howard Oakley and author of the Eclectic Lighting Company blog.
macOS Security Update
XProtect Remedior is part of the built-in XProtect service that scans for and blocks malware in the background. XProtect Remedior is updated and running at least once a day, and in some cases the service is activated every hour.
XProtect Remediator is currently able to detect popular Trojans and adware: Adload, DubRobber, Pirrit, SnowDrift, Trovi and Genieo.
MacOS malware protection has changed more in the last six months than in the previous seven years.
