What is the xprotectremediatoradload process? I have a Macbook Pro and when opening my processes on Activity Monitor, I briefly saw a process called xprotectremediatoradload. Does anyone know what that is and if that is a legit process? It said it was root. I tried googling it but came up with nothing except articles about malware called AdLoad due to key words of xProtect and AdLoad and now I'm very worried I have it. Can someone please help me.

Unknown process peopled in Activity Monitor Hi, I’m new to MacBooks and I have a M3 MacBook Pro. I’ve been familiarizing myself with Activity Monitor. There are tons of processes that I’d never heard of before but I was able to find out what they were by doing a Google search. Except for “peopled”. I’ve searched forever and can’t find anything. Could it be a virus/malware? Thanks.
