    Have you run any scans on your laptop?

    Try Malwarebytes as a start. It's free. Do a full scan and follow the instructions.

    What version of Windows are you running?

    I don't think the version of Windows is important here. The program may have been released and reviewed by that site before Windows 10 was released. It gives instructions for removing it from Windows 8 which should be similar to Windows 10.

    It looks like a homemade version of Malwarebytes. Is probably ok but if you have MB installed, you don't need it and can remove it.

    Did you get some form of HP diagnostic update lately? Is it a HP?

    Seems to be prevalent in a lot of OEM laptop's, it may also be in Acer laptops and a few other brands also...
