Go to msconfig and under the tab startup is a list of programs that run when windows start. Under the list should be HP Software Update. Uncheck it and after you might have to restart your computer.

Block it via group policy.  Make sure that you do not have automatic updates enabled on your network.  The easier way would be to have a WSUS server running on any server, and controlling your updates through that management console.

go to RUN .. type MSCONFIG and then go to start up\nand disable the things that U don't want , but be careful do not disable things that belong to the system files

Norton eliminates it.  Download the recent defs and run a full system scan.

I had an eMachine laptop that came with Bigfix as well.  One of the first things I did was uninstall it.  One, I am quite capable of installing Windows updates, two, I am quite capable of managing my own security settings and three, it was just damned annoying.  You don't really need it... if you are comfortable handling your own security settings, updates and OS patches.

It is Windows XP SP2 updates executable. It updates your computer. Just leave it alone.

Use your add / remove programs in control panel, just be sure that "Show Updates" is checked up at the top.

Set the "Windows Update" at auto. It will update whenever any new updates are available. So you will not have to worry about it.

any unnecessary update will just take space but would not harm your computers performance\n\nmost users cannot not determine which update is required or not thats why it is suggested that you download all that are recomended

You can go to Start->Run and type in msconfig and then go to startup and uncheck the stuff that you don't want to start up when you turn on your computer. Be careful what you uncheck.

You do not need it. Hewlett Packard installs it whether you like it or not, whenever you buy one of their machines. I usually reformat the hard drives on them and reinstall Windows Xp from a Microsoft CD whenever I get a HP (or a Compaq), as it irritates the crap out of me, as well. Dell used to do that stuff, too, but they're getting better these days.

This is the easiest and best way to stop this annoyance Start>Run then type in msconfig and hit enter when system configuration utility opens click on the startup tab and uncheck the box next to Bt help notifier,  then apply changes and restart your computer. If you need further help e-mail me...........Oh by the way the help notifier is useless anyway so by stopping it at startup you are also saving resources.

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 :)
