Need confirmation about MAC component.

'C2/Generic-A' at '/Library/Apple/System/Library/StagedFrameworks/Safari/WebKit.framework/Versions/A/XPCServices/com.apple.WebKit.Networking.xpc/Contents/MacOS/com.apple.WebKit.Networking' is malicious content? If it is not malicious what is the use of that component?

Very hard to say whether it is malicious or not.

Only thing I can suggest is to reboot your Mac.


Reboot your Mac

Malware Removal Tool

Quote:

Should malware make its way onto a Mac, macOS also includes technology to remediate infections. The Malware Removal Tool (MRT) is an engine in macOS that remediates infections based on updates automatically delivered from Apple (as part of automatic updates of system data files and security updates). MRT removes malware upon receiving updated information, and it continues to check for infections on restart and login. MRT doesn’t automatically reboot the Mac.
