Try right-clicking the icon in the bottom right corner of the screen.  It should give you a menu with an option to disable.  The program should re-enable itself when you restart.

Go to Control Panel.  Go to Install/Remove.  Remove the software.  Download AVAST! Anti Virus scanner that is free off the Internet.  Run AVAST.  Delete anything that it tells you to.  Good luck.  Sydney

I assume you're using Windows. Using two anti-virus programs creates conflicts. For instance when you download a file both will try to scan it at the same time. The second program will cause an error because the file is already in use by the first program.\n\nOne top of that Windows now requires each anti-virus program to register with it so it can monitor weather it's enable or disabled. When there is two windows gets confused. \n\nPlus it uses up system resources. Just run on anti-virus application; keep it updated, run regular scans. \n\nI often uninstall one and install a differnt one just to make sure mine is doing it's job.\n\nI've included a link on this topic.

Update your windows security patch to the latest, update antivirus software.\nThen update your printer driver by going to the http://www.HP.com site\nClick my computer and right click on c drive, properties, general tab, disk cleanup button, check all those boxes with amounts on the right then ok.

its not hard.\n\ngo to control panel>printer&other hardware>mouse>click on that>turn on click lock.\n\nHope it helps. There are other work around but those will be too much wastage of time other than getting any benifit.

If you are using xp then you can use system restore to go back to the settings before you installed the printer driver.

turn off your virus checker, adware blocker and or spyware blocker, one of them thinks that the plug in your trying to install is malicious software

This sounds as if you have connected the printer, but have not loaded the drivers.  Or, you have replaced your printer and have not set it as the default printer.  \n\nTry going to your application's printer set up.  You should have the option to select the default printer as your new one.\n\nI hope this helps.

Try re-installing the printer driver then, fix your settings. It should work well this time, else consider virus scan for your system; if that does not work, re-install your operating system.

1st of all this is what it is:  A "Background" HP task installed by the drivers for the HP OfficeJets K60 & G85.\n\nThis is what you do. Uninstall the printer by going through the add/remove options. Then reinstall it,but before you activate your printer go to the HP web site and download all of the updates. Problem solved... Have a nice Day :)

uninstall and then reinstall the printer software, then choose only 1 type of connection only to the printer and retry the print/fax job you want.
