        That was likely some of the malware pre-loaded by HP. Likely this happened before you did a clean Windows 10 install.

          You did do a clean install of Windows, right?

            yeah, I'm deleting that.
            Windows defender comes on windows 10 anyway.

                Did you enter your email address in the "HP Hello welcome to you new computer" crap? If so, they just shared it with the rest of the world.

                I don't even boot new computers to the default HD, I simply boot to my Windows 10 install media, boot to USB, and delete the original partitions and go.

                  From what media?
                  Did you boot the device up with it's default install first?

                        No - you're learning. But from your question - we know you did. 3rd Party AV are not bundled into MS's installer.. that comes only from the vendor... so in the future, you know not to bother.. just boot from your home made USB stick, and you'll be golden, and the crapware won't be there.

                          So I should Reload with my USB stick I made now that I have an activated version of windows?

                            Uh - what? You don't have fill any of that shit out. If you do, you need to buy from another vendor.

                            If you buy a new HP or Dell, you'll get warranty support for as long as the unit has it.. .it will generically be based upon the manufacture date... but when you call in, if the manufacture date is significantly different from your purchase date, supplying a copy of the receipt has never let me down in getting the warranty window adjusted.

                              It was activated before it left the factory, but to answer this exact question - yes you should. This will leave you in a 100% clean state.

                              But wait - how did you make the USB stick? using some HP/Dell/Levono (I hope not) tool?

                                    Apparently MacAfee comes loaded on windows 10 Home? and automatically Registers?

                                    That was likely some of the malware pre-loaded by HP. Likely this happened before you did a clean Windows 10 install.

                                    You did do a clean install of Windows, right?

                                    yes, I did a clean install of windows.

                                    From what media?
                                    Did you boot the device up with it's default install first?

                                    are you gonna yell if i say yes?

                                    No - you're learning. But from your question - we know you did. 3rd Party AV are not bundled into MS's installer.. that comes only from the vendor... so in the future, you know not to bother.. just boot from your home made USB stick, and you'll be golden, and the crapware won't be there.

                                    So I should Reload with my USB stick I made now that I have an activated version of windows?

                                    It was activated before it left the factory, but to answer this exact question - yes you should. This will leave you in a 100% clean state.

                                    But wait - how did you make the USB stick? using some HP/Dell/Levono (I hope not) tool?

                                    no, I used my work PC to build it ; it's a Nobilis PC.

                                    a what?

                                            It was activated before it left the factory, but to answer this exact question - yes you should. This will leave you in a 100% clean state.

                                            But wait - how did you make the USB stick? using some HP/Dell/Levono (I hope not) tool?

                                            no, I used my work PC to build it ; it's a Nobilis PC.

                                            a what?

                                            Nobilis PC.

                                            /sigh - why? because they saved $5 If they are really going to go that route - they they should buy NUCs.

                                            because that's what I was given when I started .. It was already here. Still runs Windows 7
