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.
