Everyone that has Sonoma is going to have that file as it is part of the OS and is locked on a read only partition of your drive that neither you or anyone else can change, so there is no chance it is infected by a virus.


Why would you think that?

You don’t, you can’t. System level files are locked down and the user cannot manipulate them at all. If an anti-virus application flagged this file then uninstall that anti-virus software because eventually that anti-virus software will damage your system so badly you’ll be forced to completely reinstall everything.
