Explanation
scrubd is the daemon responsible for Check Point's Threat Extraction (TEX) blade. The name is derived from "scrub," which reflects exactly what the feature does - it scrubs (sanitizes) files by removing potentially malicious active content such as macros, embedded objects, and scripts before delivering a clean version to the user.
The distractors are plausible-sounding but fictional: tedex and tex are likely invented abbreviations of "Threat Extraction," extractd follows a common daemon naming convention but does not exist in Check Point's architecture.
Memory tip: Think "scrubd = scrubbing files clean." Threat Extraction scrubs documents, so the daemon is scrubd. If you remember the action (scrub), you remember the daemon name.
