macOS thinks Amazon Music or HP drivers are malware

This news that we tell you below are the typical ones that do not know if they are hiding something. I explain. Apparently several users are reporting that their macOS operating system (no matter the version) is recognizing the Amazon Music application and the drivers of HP brand printers, as malware and therefore it does not allow it to function normally. I don't want to think badly and believe that Apple is playing around and cutting off the chances of an Apple Music rival. It would be very serious, but with the whole monopoly issue, one no longer knows what to think.

The question is that many users of Amazon Music and / or HP brand printers, They cannot use any of the services because macOS is mistaking these programs for malware and thus preventing them from running normally. The problem is that users claim that they have not recently updated neither the drivers nor the application, so it is thought to be Apple's problem.

In each case, when trying to start the application or simply using the Mac, a dialog box appears. Report malware, says it will harm the computer and advises users to move a particular file to the trash.

The key may lie in the definition of what malware is and how macOS understands it. That is, it has updated its definitions of what is and what is not malware and by mistake, it has got into the bag of yes, some codes from Amazon Music or the drivers of the famous HP brand printers ( "HP Device Monitoring.framework"). Users have the option of clicking Move to Trash or Cancel. If they cancel, the error keeps appearing.

It is not known at the moment if the problem is widespread, but Apple is already aware of it, so we assume that it will have got to work.
