HP Recovery Files Include Spyware A reader writes: I have had it with HP. I recently had to reinstall the OS on a Hewlett Packard Pavilion XT983 computer. I was already ticked with HP concerning the non-existent recovery CDs but became extremely so after I saw the spyware that is installed on these PCs by HP. At least two of the programs installed, Wild Tangent and the Backweb client, are identified by the spyware trackers. Every HP I reinstall is the same way, too. Where does HP get off sticking us with this stuff? 5:03:56 PM    comment []
