I bought a new HP printer yesterday and as soon as I set it up I started to get this message. It pops up again as soon as I delete it. Can see kind person advise me how to get rid of it, and indeed any other dodgy malware on My MacBook Pro?
MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.15
I am having same issue "fax.backend will damage your computer". I am a novice Mac user and do not understand how to delete the files named in your email which solved this problem. Can you provide a step by step explanation of your technique? Thanks!
That works, Steffen, many thanks.
Thank you so much! I have been unable to print for over a week since the update that caused the problem. I followed your steps and now I can print!!
Thanks everybody, I'm happy to have been helpfull.
I'm actually kind of surprised that there has been no (To my knowledge) solutions coming out of either Apple or HP.
Unfortunately I am not at all surprised...😎
@Steffen-Otto-Jensen. Thank you very much for your solution. I tried it and it worked!
me either, I did not understand the steps....
I ended up going through my applications and deleted the app called "fax.backend". I was then able to connect with my new printer & move on.
When trying to add printer window appears saying: “fax.backend” will damage your computer
It worked! Thank you so much!
