How to remove Easy Internet Signup

By kservik | August 5, 2007

When you buy a laptop from HP you get something that is called Easy Internet Sign-up that goes totally mad on you. The program that runs Easy Internet Sign-up is HP SDP Application Module (HPSdpApp.exe).

Easy Internet Signup is a “helper” that ask you if you want to sign up with any of HPs service partners. When you tick now it is supposed to turn it off forever, but just the opposite is what happens. It starts running every 30 mins and there is no end to it. It will actually continue on launching itself in a popup forever unless you find out how to remove it.

Well here is how to remove it:

  1. Click Start, type Scheduler in the search field, and select Task Scheduler when it appears.

    If prompted for permission, click Continue.

  2. In the left column, click Task Scheduler Library.

  3. In the center column, select the task you want to stop.

  4. In the right column, click Delete, and then click Yes to confirm deletion.

  5. Close the Task Scheduler window.

    Thanks!!!! What other items can we remove from the task scheduler? Extended Service Plan? Service Plan? HP Health Check? Recovery CD? Thanks.

    None of the above mentioned seems very important, so if they steal too much memory I would kill them.

    Oh man, you are the best. The extreme irritation I had at not knowing how to stop this nonsense was more than made up for by the hearty laughter I experienced reading others’ comments!

    I have been freed from The Matrix!! Wooo Hooooo!

    Thank you for this tip! I just deleted this item and others (HP Health Check and Registration) from the scheduler. I have removed all the installed stuff from HP and have a pretty clean machine - under 20GB used …. wanted a clean machine to play World of Warcraft and not be slowed down any. Also removed the trial of Symantec and put on AVG Internet Security v 8…. it works great and I don’t even notice I have Security Software on the computer.

    Step 4 didn’t work for me… I’m system admin, but the task scheduler says I don’t have permission to delete the task. Any ideas? Thank you for your help!

    You are only trying to delete the HP task?

  21. Angela Says:

    Does this step completely delete Easy Internet Services from the notebook, or just stop the window from popping up?

    Thanks!

    You stop the process from ever running. That is what you really want to achieve. Windows is full of programs you never use.
