There's this thing on my dad's HP computer called "HP Software update." Now the damn thing is updating constantly, the things it updates are random and unnecessary and it's using up memory.
I now read online that these updater programs from HP are actually ideal means for hackers to get into people's computers.
So my question is, does anyone know how I can either delete the program or at least stop it from updating?
There is no uninstall feature on the program and as far as I can tell there's no way to open it up and turn off the updates or anything. If you click on the program it just starts itself up and updates. Ugh!
Anyone?
