In a new article, Forbes Magazine warns of a severe security flaw in PC-Doctor Toolbox (google:  "forbes toolbox windows 10" -- as of the time of this writing, the article is the first hit).  It points out that Toolbox is incorporated by a number of manufacturers and always seems to be rebranded by each.  Does HP Support Assistant incorporate PC-Doctor Toolbox? 

 

More specifically, should we remove HP Support Assistant until the security flaw is fixed?
