I am trying to print to my HP & get the following message inkjet1.driver will damage your computer along with pde.plugin will damage your computer & HPDM.framework will damage your computer. Malware. How do I remove this in order to print please
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15
Here is the fix for the odd problems with HP printing after the Catalina 10.15.7 update.
Go to System Preferences -> Printers & Scanners. Delete the HP Printer.
Go to your HD -> Library -> Printers. Delete the hp folder.
Reconnect your HP printer.
Go to System Preferences -> Printers & Scanners. Add the HP Printer.
System will auto update the required HP driver software.
You should be all set, as it was for me.
Good Luck.
I Cannon print with my hp deskjet 4210, the problem is the virus pde plug-in, how to solve this problem?o
same here, looks like it came in with the last update.
@HP can you expedite - I am losing more hours of work.
PDE.plugin first when I wanted to print...now it is continuous
I have this question too
Well I am afraid that didn’t work for me.
I am at a loss to know what to do.
Surely Apple have a fix?
OK, I will go to the HP site and post my findings here! Thank you.
:)
I had the same issue just now and I completely removed and reinstalled my printer from my mac and deleted the HP app and reinstalled it. It fixed it and now im able to print! hope this helps
👍
I seem to be busy with lots of ‘stuff’ going on just now.
But I think this is the best solution and I will get round to doing that in the next day or two.
Thanks very much.
Great to hear, take care my friend! :)
Worked for me too after finally getting permissions on that folder. Many thanks.
Only FYI: I see the HP Smart app has been updated (yesterday) with a vague "Bug Fixes". Whether this version will fix anything related to this malware..... YMMV.
Thank you!
