I have a Compaq Presario CQ60. It came bundled with HP software. I cannot fully shut down this HORRIBLE Health Check. The only reason I do not want to remove it, is because I may need it to install something in the future. Anyhow, I do NOT want it running in any capacity unless I specifically launch it.
I started with the basics. I went into HP Health Check's internal settings. I disabled the scheduler, and unchecked it from running in startup. Then I went into MSCONFIG, and removed it from startup there. Then I went into services.msc, and disabled it there as well, and for that matter, all HP services except for the wireless services. Despite all of this, the sucker still pops up randomly. When it does, I go into the settings of the application itself, and what do you know? All of the options are active again, and all boxes have check marks in them. WHAT MORE CAN I DO? I cannot stand this thing. I have never dealt with more intrusive software in my life, except maybe Microsoft Messenger. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
