SettingsDaemon is a LaunchDaemon component of Malwarebytes, the widely-used anti-malware and cybersecurity platform for Mac. This daemon runs in the background to manage Malwarebytes' protection settings, configuration, and real-time security monitoring. It is not a standalone application but rather a critical system service that ships as part of the Malwarebytes for Mac installation. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionSettingsDaemon is a component of Malwarebytes for Mac and is updated automatically whenever you update the parent Malwarebytes application — there is no separate update path for the daemon itself. A native Apple Silicon build has already been confirmed running in the Rosetta Check community, which means the latest version of Malwarebytes for Mac includes a native version of this daemon. To ensure you have the native build, open Malwarebytes for Mac, go to the menu and check for updates (typically Help → Check for Updates or the settings panel). Install any available update and restart your Mac. Once Malwarebytes updates to a recent build, the SettingsDaemon component will automatically run natively on your Apple Silicon Mac, delivering better performance and battery efficiency than the Intel version under Rosetta.
