The laptops found the Keylogger

HP is a little fucked up – in her notebooks were found built-in Keylogger, which regularly record all key press of keyboard and sent them to HP servers. This was reported by the security officer, and the number of infected laptops can plunge into shock fans of the brand.

Allegedly, Keylogger sewn from 500 models of laptops from HP, and it’s built into the driver Synaptics touchpad. It is disabled by default, but with idle UAC in Windows 7 and in Windows 10 you can activate it by changing two lines in the registry. HP is already aware of the situation, and at the time of writing this news, she was already prepared patch, which you can read on the official website of the company. The problem concerns laptops issued in the period from 2012 to 2017, and on the website there is a list of the infected models.

To install a new driver without Keylogger manually or via Windows update. According to experts, this problem may relate not only to mobile PC from HP – it is likely that your driver is in the notebooks of other manufacturers, but at the moment it is not confirmed. Installing the patch will not affect other components, as happened with the Apple MacOS after removal ten times larger vulnerability.
