Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I've been reading about vulnerabilities in PC-Doctor software that is built in to diagnostic software that is loaded by manufacturers.

This article refers to Dell computers but says the software is on other computers too.

Does anyone know if HP diagnostics contain this software?

Thanks

One of the link has been removed. I can say all software have flaws and bugs. In MANY cases, programmers introduce a fix but they may create more bug(s).

 

It is up to us (users) to inform REAL, HONEST developers to fix their bug(s). Our concerns should be with the crooks out there.

 

Hope this make senses.

 

Regards.
