System Mechanic

[Tonedef12]

I received a notification that appears as an HP pop up window suggesting I install System Mechanic on my computers

Welcome to the HP English Community --

It is not HP software -- 

"Mechanic" has been around for years --

Dragon Opinion

Were it mine to do, I'd remove it, mark it as unwanted, search it out (on the system) and get rid of it.

Perhaps you dropped into a random website and picked up the pop-up there.

The pop-up might have ridden into your system on a Not-HP software you downloaded.

Perhaps take a look at your browser history and the permissions.

Watch where you go -- 

Be aware that Not-HP and Not-Microsoft sites might be happy to "add" whatever they like to your experience.

I just received the same HP notification about System Mechanic. All I did was click on the notification and then I noticed that it has nothing to do with HP. I then searched my computer to see if System Mechanic was downloaded on my computer and it was Not.
