HP Scanner 3 will harm your computer

My Get info window does not have the message, as you have shown in diagram, to override malware.

I did replace my HP printer driver yesterday and it works fine... but the scanner doesn't work now.

I didn't think to try out the scanner when I replaced the printer.

Guess I just wait till Apple gets a 'fix'?

Ah, I was incorrect then. It's not 10.15.7 that gives you the option. Must be the version of HP EZ Scan. I'm running 1.9.1. Weird. Hang in there, my hunch is HP is working on this fix as we speak if it's as widespread as it appears to be.

My new 2019 macbook displayed a HP Scanner 3 will damage your computer message this morning which I tried to print to my HP Envy. And had other weird issues with the laptop....full screen static and bouncing arrow. I also have an older macbook on Sierra that did not show the HP scanner message and will still print to the Envy, but after printing, it also exhibited strange behavior. I have virus protection, so I'm hoping this is a mac/hp issue and not a virus.

Auuuugh.... I followed exactly what you said, but when I opened the box... it did not include the Override Malware Protection... just the other two about low resolution and locked. Very frustrated with this.... not only cannot use scanner, but stupid pop-up on my screen.

This worked for me. I deleted my HP printer/scanner, selected + and added it again, selecting AirPrint. It is now printing, but not scanning. I tried to set up Image Capture for scanning and received all the warnings everyone is getting and, in the end, would not allow me to add my scanner.

I got both printer and scanner to work on my iMac.

I went to HP Support and searched and found " 'HPxxxxx.framework' will damage your computer," which is one of the many error messages I have received.

As instructed, I made sure my OS was up to date.

I followed the instructions to Download HP Easy Start. (Note, the first HP Easy Start link worked, but the second link did not)

Critical: After downloading this, do not go directly to installing the drivers. Follow the instructions which say "The following should not be necessary but if you want to be extra diligent and guarantee a clean new install."

As instructed, click on the HP Easy Start menu and select Uninstall HP Software. I did not do that the first time and the remaining HP files on my computer allowed me to get the printer working, but not the scanner.

After uninstalling HP software, I followed the instructions to download the Essential files and HP Easy Scan.

One of the final steps is to test the Printer (worked the first time) and Scanner (got an error message.) I tried the scanner again and the document I was scanning appeared in the Easy Start test area. Then, I tried Easy Scan and it worked also.

This malfeaseance on the part of HP and Apple's inability to address the problem is inexusable and intolerable. I need my prints for my job! We are all teleworking for heaven's sake. FIX IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Same here- HP site and totally non-responsive when I talked with tech person. Asked if they had a problem and they said they were not aware of one but I should talk to tech assistant. Tech Assist tried to sell me that I needed to but a $400 network protection and that would fix my problem.

When I chatted with Apple last night they just responded go to HP. Frustrated that Apple is not more visible.

FYI, I just got the CamScanner app on my phone. It was fantastic in scanning about 10 documents that I had to send out to Asia last night.

I'm so happy I didn't wait for HP to fix this problem. Not cheap, but a better quality scan and easy to learn.

I have deleted HP software and tried to reload- was not successful. Went to HP site they suggested deleting the printer from the list of printers, rebooting (everything- internet, computer and printer) and then adding printer-- printer still not found even though it says it is connected to internet.

Nothing works to get rid of the error messages - over on the HP community forum the service techs are blaming Apple and says Apple needs to come out with a fix. I barely got my HP Laserjet Pro working again. So for now I guess I'll put up with the annoying messages.

I have HP Deskjet 3050a and downloaded this:

ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software12/HP_Quick_Start/osx/Installations/Essentials/hp-printer-essentials-S-5_14_8_4.pkg

and it now works to scan and print from computer.

Oh well done Apple - just release yet another emergency update which has flagged even more HP Files as dangerous ! Could you please actually release a fix that reverses the issue rather then make it worse !

I have iMac computer with a CP Photosmart All in one C 4280,

the printer works however, the scanner does not open but, shows

"HP scanner malware" will damage your computer.

Is this the result of the new software?

Will it be corrected with new software?

I'm not computer savvy, is there anything I can do?
