Bubba Bob Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 That came with your HP computer. It's not malware. Link to post Share on other sites
TheTerrorist_75 Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 If it is found somewhere besides C:\hp\bin than it would be a cause for concern. Link to post Share on other sites

Matt Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 It is not malware, but is a potentially unwanted program. It is used to kill processes, and could be misused by trojans or other forms of crapware. Link to post Share on other sites

xxkbxx Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 I hate HP specifically because they load their computers with crapWho doesn't?Well, HP is much worse than Gateway, Dell, and even their sister company CompaqComputer I worked on yesterday came factory direct with half the desktop filled with random HP icons (resolution was at 1024x768!)Of course I do have a problem with about every computer company:Dell - Download site for drivers is often downCompaq - Takes forever to reactivate XP after a reload - issue with MicrosoftHP - Preloaded crap and badly designed casesGateway - Really don't have a problem with themEMachines - Practically no driver supportOf course reactiviation and driver support aren't much of a problem unless you reload these computers about every day (which unfortunetly I do at work) Link to post Share on other sites

rhema7 Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 if you buy commercial you should expect to get junk. I just know I will have to clean it out and do it. My Compaq Laptop I just did a clean install after I registered. Install all my drivers and avoided all the junk. Good thing Compaq gives you a actual copy of XP (on disc not a hidden partition).And this is why you build your own computer....AMEN Link to post Share on other sites
IEatHardDrives Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 HP always puts a crap load of junk on there computers, and it slows the whole system down. Link to post Share on other sites
Honda_Boy Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 the only manufactured PC I'd get would be an Alienware, VooDoo, Falcon Northwest, or ABS and that would be just for a laptop. Otherwise I build my own. If I were to buy a new one made by someone else it'd have to be from the local shop called The CCC. My Sidewinder though is loaded with mountains of crap though that slows it down. printer and scanner crap (HP). AV and Firewall (Norton and AVG), Motherboard Utilities, (Gigabyte) and loads of other crap. I almost can't wait for my Norton Internet Security subscription to run out. With Firefox and free firewalls I don't really need it anymore and haven't needed for a while. I had a virus a while back (actually 2 at once) and Norton crapped out first thing and an un-updated AVG FREE had to clean everything up. Link to post Share on other sites

xxkbxx Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 I prebuilt mine - it is truely the only way to avoid crapIt's almost impossible to tell people when they come in to work wanting to get a computer that their best option is custom built. Of course if you do want a low end brand new system Dell's $300 deals for a fair system with a flat panel are best, but after you exceed a certain price area the best $ deal is custom.They always think you're trying to scam them into buying a custom Link to post Share on other sites
