![]() ![]() Yes, you have been looking in the wrong place for your current version number. I’ve checked System Preferences’ App Store tab right now, and the settings are indeed set as you said. Go to System Preferences->App Store and make sure you have checked both the “Automatically check for updates” and “Install system data files and security updates” enabled. ![]() That would seem to indicate to me that you don’t have your System Preferences properly configured to receive updates. There is a Terminal command you can use to see what version you have, but a much easier way is to download Howard Oakley’s SilentKnight or LockRattler app from and run it when you hear there has been an update. That app is what was installed with the Security Update, so you are now fully up-to-date. System Information only shows you the dates when a particular package is installed, so it will show you that Security Update 2019-004 was installed, but not the individual components like MRT. The security updates mentioned here are not the same as the update you manually installed today, rather they are critical background (silent) installs. I’ve been checking the System Information app’s “Installations” list, but the “MRTConfigData” item still says “1.28, 7, 15:59.” However, there is an application named “MRT” in /System/Library/CoreServices, and its last modified date is today, July 23, 2019, 9:50 AM (Japan time), that was when Security Update 2019-004 was being installed. Howard Oakley’s page says High Sierra should have MRT Config Data version 1.47, 18 July 2019, but my iMac’s High Sierra system doesn’t have that! It says only version 1.28 of January 2018. I searched for files that has the text string “METConfigData” in the name, and EasyFind found two files named …, one ending with".plist", and another ending with “.bom”, and both are in /System/Library/Receipts, and are dated 7, 15:59. ![]() This morning (Japan time) I installed Security Update 2019-004 into my iMac’s High Sierra 10.3.6, but System Information still says the same thing about MRTConfigData.

I have recently updated my related utilities SilentKnight and SystHist so they now track XProtect Remediator. I intend converting its Help book to a new PDF version in the next update. Sadly, I can no longer maintain LockRattler’s Help book any more, as Help Crafter, the Help authoring app I have been using, no longer works, and there’s no obvious replacement. LockRattler version 4.35 is strongly recommended for anyone running macOS 10.15 or later, and is now available from here: lockrattler435įrom Downloads above, from its Product Page, and via its auto-update mechanism. The Remediator version is also written to the app’s text report. ![]() The last update shown in red to the right of that is the more recent of the two, XProtect data files and the Remediator app. The currently installed version of XProtect Remediator is now displayed after that of XProtect, at the upper left. I’m delighted to announce a new version of my free utility LockRattler, which now checks and reports version numbers and updates to the new macOS security tool XProtect Remediator, as installed in macOS Catalina and later. ![]()
