Is MacOS.Lazarus.l.r a legitimate file? WebRoot identified it as a threat.

Webroot antivirus software continues identifying a file as a threat. The file is called MacOS.Lazarus.l.r. Since it was identified as a threat, I tried to remove it, quarantine and block it after several reboots. It keeps coming up as a threat. Is this a virus or is this a legitimate Apple file Apple product? thx!

I’m using a MacBook Pro 2012 with Catalina 10.15.7. Yeah, I know it’s old. Thx!

Among other things, you're best served by removing the Webroot software. No antivirus software is needed on your Mac and only causes performance (or other) issues.


From Webroot, it's a false positive of an Apple system file.
