I noticed a marked slowdown on my HP desktop about mid Nov., but considering that I had been downloading lots of stuff, I thought maybe I was the problem. Nope, not me. Just found this mess (HP TAS) installed, but not by me. Considering how tech challenged I am, I would never have found it without this post. I am NOT a happy camper! Makes me wonder what else has been installed without my knowledge or permission.

Needless to say, I'm going to have to uninstall TAS, but what will prevent HP from reinstalling it?
