Pre-Installed Keylogger found installed on over 460 HP Laptop Models

A security researcher recently found another  keylogger in several Hewlett-Packard laptops that could allow hackers to record your every keystroke and steal sensitive data.
 The keylogger was embedded  in the Syntp.sys file that ships preloaded with HP notebook computers.  Although it is disabled by default, hackers can  use open source tools to bypass User Account Control (UAC) to enable the built-in keylogger just by setting a registry value.

The company has released a Driver update for all the affected HP Notebook Models.
