Will this message that suddenly popped up when I tried to print today really do my computer harm?  According to the posters on Google many are having variants of this message because of an HP incompatibility with Apple updates? How do I restore my printer function?

I am getting multiple alert messages including hpPost Processing.bundle will damage your computer.  Hp Post ScriptPDE.plugin will damage your computer.  I just want to fix it!  Resetting the printer does not work.  I have  HP LaserJet Pro MFPdw

Same it's driving me mad! I'm assuming it has to do with the latest OS Update. Still waiting on HP Support to respond. I have a HP OfficeJet 3830.

I found this on the site. Looks like a legit threat. https://support.hp.com/sg-en/document/c06640149

Check the Apple Web site, https://discussions.apple.com/thread/251949085.  It has an updated driver to download and install.  You don't have to reinstall your printer once its installed.  I was able to restart my print queue and everything worked.

Same problem with HP ENVY 4525.
Mac Os Catalina can connect with the print for test printing but impossible to print from computer files, PDF or Word.
Message of "will harm your computer" for PDE.plugin and inkjet1.driver.
And when trying the "update" from HP site answer is: we have no update for your drive. When trying from Apple store and download for HP app. same answer.
