Solution:
Go to system preferences > users and groups > click on your account > login items > remove malware from startup.
Go to System Preferences > Console > System Log.
Copy the path showing the failure reason (When validating : Users/username/Library/Application Support/MCR/mchlpr.app/Contents/MacOS/mchlpr)
Open Finder > click Go in the toolbar > go to folder > paste the path.
This will bring you to the virus file called "mchlpr". Delete this file and empty trash.

Since updating my software I cannot get rid of this error message "mchlpr" Have tried the system preferences but I do not have console in these settings, how the **** do I get rid of it?? It's so annoying and wished I'd never updated now. Can someone please help me?
I can't get that to work for me and I have the same issue. I don't have console under system preferences after I upgraded to Catalina.
nevermind I found it, solved, thanks
i’m having the same problem you did. what did you do to solve it. i can’t get the thing that the other person said to work.
never mind i got it
where did you find it?
im having the exact same problem as you after updating my OS.
help me :(
i searched in all of my applications in finder for the name of the malware and then dragged it to the trash and then emptied my trash
do the same as Maddie below said. Enter the name of the malware in finder and the folder will come up and trash it. Then empty the trash.
Me too
Hi Maddie,
I've searched in applications but couldn't find it, what should I look for specifically?
It's driving me nuts errrrr
Console it’s in the utilities app under finder then applications or Enter mchlpr In finder and the folder will come up and trash it. Then empty the trash.
Thank you, found it and now rid of it 👏
i called Apple Support the the helpdesk, there asked me to download Malwarebytes
After scan and quarantine, restart the Macbook, and it seems ok for now...
After pasting the path, nothing occurs. I have tried many times and it has failed
