Oct 24, 2020 at 19:54 | comment | added | bmike♦ | @Allan the HP installers are egregiously bad at being good citizens of secure and minimal installation. I think everyone is leveling up on what to call this and the various technologies surrounding signed apps, CRL, OCSP, notarized and stapled tickets and more. It’s not wrong for many to over simplify and just want an EZ button and the more technical we are, the more we risk losing people to jargon fatigue. | |

Oct 24, 2020 at 17:03 | comment | added | Allan | I've been on that side of things and it's usually a 3rd party like the CA Auth. Using Certs to identify malware is a horrible, horrible way to do things. Invalid cert ≠ malware. I blame Apple for this one. My printers are predominantly HP and none have this issue, but then again, I don't buy consumer stuff, even for home use. This is what I tell my clients - all say they'll never go back to consumer/retail HP products again. | |

Oct 24, 2020 at 9:25 | comment | added | Richard Cosgrove | I got Gatekeeper and Xprotect confused. But this is down to OS X incorrectly flagging files as malware, due to HP having certificates revoked: go.theregister.com/feed/www.theregister.com/2020/10/23/… | |
Oct 23, 2020 at 21:21 | comment | added | Allan | That's not Gatekeeper. That's would be XProtect but that's only when an app is being opened for the first time. There's no malware detection system (like anti virus) on Catalina. Any false positive detection would be the responsibility of the people writing the detection - not the (innocent) vendor who was incorrectly flagged. | |

Oct 23, 2020 at 21:13 | comment | added | Richard Cosgrove | Yes it does. It’s one of Gatekeeper’s functions. | |
Oct 23, 2020 at 21:11 | comment | added | Allan | Catalina doesn't have a malware warning of any kind. What anti-malware application are you using? | |
