Is XProtect.app an authentic macOS application? ClamXAV finds trojan in XProtect


ClamXAV says that it found a trojan in XProtect.app called

Trojan.OSX.Generic in the pathway:

/Library/Apple/System/Library/CoreServices/XProtect.app


Is XProtect.app a genuine macOS file? Some posts that I found say that

only XProtect.bundle is a legitimate macOS file. Please help! Should I

delete it? MalwareBytes finds nothing on my mac!


thank you

iMac 27″, macOS 12.3
