This component is a launchDaemon (background service) that is part of Norton Security, Symantec's comprehensive antivirus and security suite for macOS. LaunchDaemons are system-level helper processes that run in the background to provide core functionality — in Norton's case, this daemon handles real-time threat monitoring, file scanning, and other protective services. The daemon is not installed or updated separately; it is bundled within Norton Security and updated when Norton itself is updated.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionThis is a helper component of Norton Security, not a standalone app, so there is nothing to update separately. To ensure the daemon runs natively on Apple Silicon (and will continue to work after Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28, September 2028), you must update Norton Security itself to the latest version. Launch Norton Security, open its settings or preferences, and look for a Check for Updates or Update option. Alternatively, visit Symantec's support page or use the Norton LifeLock app (if you are using the subscription version) to pull the latest build. Confirm that Norton Security shows as an Apple Silicon native build in About This App — the daemon will automatically be native when the host app is native.
