com.vmware.deemd
This is a launch daemon component (com.vmware.deemd) that is part of VMware Fusion, the virtualization software for macOS that allows users to run Windows and Linux virtual machines on Intel and Apple Silicon Macs. Launch daemons are system-level helper processes that run in the background to provide core functionality. This particular daemon supports VMware Fusion's operations and cannot be updated separately from the main application.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionThis is a system helper component bundled inside VMware Fusion, not a standalone application. It is not updated separately and cannot be managed on its own — updating VMware Fusion itself is what keeps this daemon current. To ensure you have the native Apple Silicon build of VMware Fusion and its associated helpers, use the VMware support website or your existing VMware installation's built-in updater. Check Help → Software Updates inside VMware Fusion, or visit the official VMware Fusion download and support pages directly. As of June 2026, you have over a year until macOS 28 removes Rosetta 2 in late 2027, so if your copy of VMware Fusion is still running under Rosetta, prioritize upgrading to the latest native Apple Silicon release to ensure compatibility.
