AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not locate reliable public information confirming whether NETGEAR Armor has been updated to run natively on Apple Silicon or remains Intel-only. The search results we gathered relate to installation and permission issues rather than architecture support. Given that Apple will remove Rosetta 2 support in macOS 28 (September 2028), it is important to verify the native build status with NETGEAR before that deadline. Contact NETGEAR support directly or check the vendor's Mac compatibility page to confirm whether a native Apple Silicon build is available or is planned. If native support is confirmed, update through NETGEAR's official download page or in-app update mechanism. If the vendor has not committed to native support by late 2027, you should plan to migrate to an actively maintained alternative security suite that already ships with native Apple Silicon support, such as Malwarebytes, Objective-See's security tools, or a third-party antivirus that explicitly lists M-series Mac compatibility.
