Default Pre-Installed Keylogger Found On Over 460 HP Laptop Models

Keylogger
HP has an awful history of 'accidentally' leaving keyloggers onto its
customers' laptops. At least two times this year, HP laptops were
caught with pre-installed keylogger or spyware applications.

I was following a tweet made by a security researcher claiming to have
found a built-in keylogger in several HP laptops, and now he went
public with his findings.

The entire artcle is here.

This kind of thing is one reason I always do my own OS installation,
never relying on a pre-installed system.
