HP Confirms Security Hole on 82 Notebook Models
HP has released an update for 82 different notebook models that could potentially be affected by a security hole linked to the HP Info Center software. The update, which you can download here, deactivates the vulnerable software until a proper patch is released. Anyone with a HP or Compaq notebook listed on this page could potentially be affected by the problem and should download the patch as soon as possible. The vulnerability can be exploited by attackers when certain websites are visited using Internet Explorer 6 or 7, and is not resolved by uninstalling the software - you must use the patch from HP.

or you could use Firefox or Opera and never have a problem to begin with. Then agian, IE is a problem in itself.
