Imazing for mac os x 10.6.85/30/2023 ![]() It was basically HP and Apple not being on the same page. So the good news is this is not actually real “Malware”. Doing a little more research on this subject I found reports of this issue with people saying it was a “signing” problem with HP’s printer drivers, due to HP not having updated their software to Apple’s increased security standards in Catalina – therefore HP drivers were no longer being recognized as “signed” and legitimate and hence the pop up “report malware to Apple”. ![]() ![]() So this seemed to have something else as the cause. I had them do a scan using Malwarebytes for Mac – it found “no malware”. Catalina has been reported as having greatly increased security and not getting along with some things the way Mojave did. Both of them had upgraded MacOS to Catalina pretty recently. The wording is a big scary – “will damage your computer” and they both were a bit freaked out. The popup came back instantly after clicking OK, no matter how many times you click it, so they really found it impossible to use the computer at all as it covered up a good part of the laptop’s screen. This is the PopUp (below) which as you can see says: “amework” will damage your computer. I had two clients who both came to me today separately with the exact same problem, they called me with news that a pop-up had suddenly appeared on their computer screen which said it found “malware”.

Some people have discussed using iMazing to get “unofficial” IOS apps onto their M1 computers. Then when you go to the App Store on your M1, you should see the app with the cloud icon, meaning you have downloaded it before, then try installing Word on your M1. If you don’t see it with the “cloud icon” to download, first get Word app on your iPhone/iPad. We went to the App store and that did seem to work, so just FYI if you have trouble with your new M1 and Office, try using the IOS version of Word, etc. Very frustrating Microsoft!įinally after some more research we seemed to glom onto the idea of using the IOS version of Word, as Big Sur can use (some) IOS apps. We downloaded that again, installed and same issue, seemed to just hang and go in circles so it was unusable. Office said it was running under Rosetta 2 of course as there is not a native M1 version at the time of writing this post (Dec 2020) I searched for information on the web about which version of Mac MS Office would work, even on Microsoft’s website and while specific information about Office and the new M1 Macs was sparse, it did seem to say that Mac Office 2019 would work. I screen shared with him and we tried to uninstall and reinstall MS Office and still would not authenticate. He needed some help because he said his MS Office / Word application running on his M1 and Big Sur would not authenticate. I had a client recently who bought a new M1 Macbook Pro.
