XProtect is part of the Apple built-in security. As long as your version of macOS is supported by Apple, the XProtect and other protections are pushed to your Mac by Apple usually on a monthly basis.

XProtect is the built-in malware prevention system. It is automatically installed when it is updated.

Thank you once again VikingOSX for your reply. It was very helpful. There are probably numerous other items in the system which I have no idea what they are.
