After updating to the new OS Catalina, I constantly get a error message popping up;

"Mchlpr" will damage your computer. You should move it to the bin.

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.
