I understand this has something to do with HP automatic updates. Today when I rebooted a certificate came up which said "Backweb Security Notice, New Certificate for channel hp home server" and had a kind of murky looking certificate image. I told it "no" at which point it issued a threat of what I wouldn't be able to access if I didn't choose "yes!"

So...I found it is considered malware, but I have not found a way that I trust to remove it (not knowing much about any software I found to do so.)

I did a 4.5 hour AVG virus scan, Adaware and spybot. The virus scan came up clean and there were small bits the other two programs took care of.

how do I disable to auto updates or whatever to get rid of the above?

Thank you!!!
