After an end user updated his Mac last night he keeps receiving a popup " dlpmac " wants access to data from other apps.

Hi,

Had the same issue, in my case it turned out to be part of the Trend Micro virus scanner. See , page 138, it is mentioned as one of the elements that are covered by self-protection.

Cheers, Holger

If, as another user has mentioned " Trend Micro virus scanner. " software is installed and used on the client computer

Once this type of software is installed >> Trend Micro virus "

You can spend hours or days hunting down all the bits and pieces of this software and never really get it all off the computer 

Start Over from Scratch 

For Apple Silicon computer >> Use Disk Utility to erase a Mac with Apple silicon.

For Apple Intel computers >>   Use Disk Utility to erase an Intel-based Mac followed by How to reinstall macOS

Always make a Time Machine Backup  before  proceeding 

If going this route - I suggest Not using Startup Assist to migrate everything back.

This will probably Re-Introduce ( Trend Micro virus ) back into the Operating System 

Look in Settings>Privacy & Security>Local Network

Hi,

Trend Micro will be releasing supported agent versions for the new macOS version on the following dates :

Trend Micro (and others) is never day-one ready at supporting new major OS release.

Regards.

disable the full disk access of all TREND MICRO related first then go to activity monitor, and search for TREN MICRO Service then click the service to go to the folder and manually delete the whole folder of Trend Micro.

Per chance, is this computer a Managed Computer ?

The most advanced DLP and Device Control solution for macOS

I had the same issue. Using TrendMicro.

HELP!!! PLEASE!!! As I am neither a software/hardware expert nor a native English speaker I haven't really got it, what you guys writing in this thread. So, what do I have to do to erase this annoying notification that "dlpmac" wants access to data from other apps (after I ran a software update on my MacBook Pro today). I have a private Mac and worked (3 years ago) for a company in a freelance role. Back at that time they uploaded the Trend Micro Security Agent on my Mac. The license has expired ages ago but yes some (outdated, in-active/not working) files are still on my desk. Would be a dream if someone could help me out with a step by step advice... Best Felix

I have the same issue, this "dlpmac" is annoying as it pops up every minute now, and it started after the latest update/upgrade, I wish I wouldn't have done it. Overall, after the latest upgrade some functions started working worse.

I had the same issue. Do u manage to solve it?
