AI Recommendation
1 suggestionSophosCleanD is a system daemon that runs as part of the Sophos Central endpoint protection suite, not a standalone app with its own user interface or separate download. To ensure you are running the native Apple Silicon build, open the main Sophos Central agent on your Mac (it typically appears in System Settings under Security, or in your Applications folder as "Sophos Central"), and check for updates through its built-in update mechanism. The Sophos endpoint product suite, including CleanD, auto-updates to the native build when running on M-series Macs with the latest version of the management client. If Sophos Central is set to auto-update (the default for most managed installations), your CleanD daemon will be automatically upgraded to its native Apple Silicon build without any manual action required. If your Mac is managed by your organization's Sophos administrator, they may control the rollout schedule — contact your IT department if you want to confirm the update status or accelerate deployment.
