XProtect is part of macOS's built-in malware protection. It's literally
part of the operating system, dumb dumb.

XProtect is ADDED to macOS as and when felt necessary by Apple. The user
of the computer, if it is connected to the Internet, has no control over
HOW apple manipulates the operating system.

The action is, of course, designed to be in the best interests of the
computer user.

Nope, XProtect has been a built-in part of the operating system since
10.6 (Snow Leopard). Apple updates the existing list of malicious
applications during security updates.

Wrong again. System Preferences > Software Update > Advanced > Install
system data files and security updates allows users to control this -
and disabling this feature would be incredibly dumb for obvious reasons.

Nope. Your Mac monitors what is running on it to look for malware all on
its own, without Apple's servers being involved (other than to update
the malware list when you install security updates).

It's mostly about ClamXAV. I believe it to be a scam.

I recently used Disk Utility to erase my hard drives (this machine is
18,3) and after reinstallation of macOS, I again downloaded ClamXAV from
this site:- www.clamxav.com

When invited to run the 'Free Trial' I was advised that my free trial
ended in May 2022.

HOW DID THE SOFTWARE *KNOW* THAT IT HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN INSTALLED ON
THIS COMPUTER?

If you look in System Settings > System Report > System Information >
Software > Installations > Software Name

You should see this:- https://ibb.co/2ccpz2P

Who put *XProtectPayloads* there if not Apple itself?

No user interaction is necessary nor required.

*PROOF* that Apple recetly *DID* do just that!

//Apple has just released an update to XProtect Remediator security
software for Macs running Catalina or later, bringing it to version 93.
Version 92 doesn’t appear to have been released.

Apple doesn’t release information about what security issues this update
might add or change. However, it adds one new scanning module, for
malware identified as FloppyFlipper, a name that draws a complete blank
elsewhere.

You can check whether this update has been installed by opening System
Information via About This Mac, and selecting the Installations item
under Software.//
