Do I need Hp as well?
Hello, New member here!
I have an Hp tx100, runs on Vista and have Norton 360 installed. I have no problems with Nortons and habitually run a full scan each week. I also have live updates running. Norton says everything's fine, but the Hp health check says my system is poor. I'm thinking of uninstalling the helath check and then if I have driver problems, just going to their site when necessary.
Any advice would be gratefully received. Husband suggested using the net as a resource.
Many thanks in advance!

I'd remove HP as well; the program is probably not worth the system resources that it is sucking up.

It might be helpful to actually know what's "poor". My guess is that there's a bit more text in the program describing the problem.

It said the security was poor, but when I ran my weekly norton scan it did fix some "issues", but said it was okay. The health check still says it's poor and wants me to run a check on hp. When I clicked open the link it said it was not available at this time. I guess I'm just confused about the whole thing and as I haven't had any issues with Norton, then feel I could delete this thing. I am wondering if it's slowing down the running of the pc - it takes ages to start, despite my closing a lot of the things that were running in the background at start up. I also defrag regularly. I run a small business and am a full-time law student, so I do have a lot of things on here - it's not like it doesn't get much use. Once it starts it's fine, but it does take a while and I've deleted other unnecessary programs - you know the sort the kids load, etc, so it's just my stuff on here.
