"HP Scanner 3.app will damage your computer

Has anybody else have this error message come up? Is there any work around? I moved these apps to the trash and the printer still works but not the scanner. I have an HPEnvy 7640 series and use Big Sur OS.

Any ideas welcome?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.0
