/usr/local/bin/WFDaemon on OS X
Is this part of webroot?

Hello @notcourage
At the present time I have Webroot Uninstalled from my Mac computer. Webroot leaves a lot of files behind after a uninstall. I looked at "/usr/local/bin/WFDaemon" in Spotlight on my Mac and it looks to be Webroot's Web Filter. I would submit a Support Ticket or Contact Webroot Supportto be sure.
Note: When submitting a Support Ticket, Please wait for a response from Support. Putting in another Support Ticket on this problem before Support responses will put your first Support Ticket at the end of the queue.
HTH,

If you have installed Mac OSX Catalina Beta and are getting WSDaemon errors, Apple says it has changed the interactive shell for files such as WSDaemon from bash to zsh
The default interactive shell is now zsh.
To update your account to use zsh, please run `chsh -s /bin/zsh`.
For more details, please visit https://support.apple.com/kb/HT208050
By default, your Mac uses either zsh or bash as the command-line interpreter for the login shell and interactive shell:
I followed Apple's instructions and am still getting the same WSDaemon error.

Use zsh as the default shell on your Mac
Starting with macOS Catalina, your Mac uses zsh as the default login shell and interactive shell. You can make zsh the default in earlier versions of macOS as well.By default, your Mac uses either zsh or bash as the command-line interpreter for the login shell and interactive shell:
- zsh (Z shell) is the default shell for all newly created user accounts, starting with the macOS Catalina beta.
- bash is the default shell in macOS Mojave and earlier.
code:
in Terminal.man zsh
I followed Apple's instructions and am still getting the same WSDaemon error.
If you get the message “Xware can’t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software,”
a). Access /Applications in Finder and find the app, right click the app icon, choose Open menu item in pop-up right menu.
b). Then click “Open” button in the pop-up window.
I have A few apps that did not run. Now they do.
