Just installed HP all in one printer driver, and now Hp is jamming my pc with the repeated message, everytime I load a new web page, something like, :Website wants to Run Program, and your firewall asks for permission. I can't see a way for the firewall to stop it. I tried to go into internet options in Vista, but that only allows for restricting websites, and this is a case of stopping an exe program from running - not going to a website, per se. You have the option to block it, at each attempt, though there seems to be no option to block permanantly. It has a check box for 'don't ask again' but even if you check it, it keeps on asking! We'll I don't want HP to run anything on my non-HP pc, expect the printer when I want to print! The specific program it wants to run is hpswp_clickbook.exe - it trys to run this constantly, and no printing job has ever been requested!! This think is as annoying as can be, and I don't want HP nosing around in my pc or even the potential for this. So right or wrong, I have deleted this file, and there it sits in the trash bin. You normally can't even find the file in the file structure. (must be hidden) The only way I found it was to do a search and then delete it. It's in something like... programs....... Hewlett-Packard/digitalimaging/smartwebprinting/hpswp_clickbook.exe The big question - does anyone have experience with this file, and has anyone tried deleting it - if so with what effect? Holding my breath........

I did a google search on that and there were no entries. I would say it is a form of spyware and you should do some virus and spyware checks on your PC. Malwarebytes is a good place to start. Some HELP in posting on Computing.net plus free progs and instructions Cheers

It would appear to me that this may be system wide for HP (and most other brands) and that nearly all current printer drivers/ spyware are reporting various info back to HP such as sites visited and gosh knows what. The preliminary good news is that after deleting that one HP program I mentioned, there has so far been no advers effect, though I have not tried to print yet.
