Drive Genius is a comprehensive disk utility and system maintenance tool for macOS developed by Prosoft Engineering. It offers features including hard drive monitoring, malware detection, duplicate file finding, disk cloning, secure erasure, defragmentation, repartitioning and RAID support. The app's launchDaemon component (com.prosofteng.DriveGenius.locum) runs in the background as part of the DrivePulse monitoring system, which watches for potential hard drive errors, failures and security threats. This helper bundle is not separately installed or updated — it is bundled within Drive Genius itself.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionThe launchDaemon helper com.prosofteng.DriveGenius.locum is not a standalone app and cannot be updated separately. It is an embedded component of ProSoft Drive Genius, the parent application. To update this helper to a native Apple Silicon version (if available), you must update Drive Genius itself through ProSoft's vendor installer. Visit prosofteng.com/drive-genius-5 or prosofteng.com/mac to check whether Drive Genius has been updated to ship a native Apple Silicon build and follow ProSoft's standard installation procedure. If you are still running an Intel-only version of Drive Genius under Rosetta 2, updating the parent app will update this helper component automatically. ProSoft's website should have current information about Apple Silicon support; if Drive Genius does not yet have a native build, you may wish to contact ProSoft to ask about native Apple Silicon plans before macOS 28 removes Rosetta 2 support in September 2028.
