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:
-
Click Start, type Scheduler in the search field, and select Task Scheduler when it appears.
If prompted for permission, click Continue.
-
In the left column, click Task Scheduler Library.
-
In the center column, select the task you want to stop.
-
In the right column, click Delete, and then click Yes to confirm deletion.
-
Close the Task Scheduler window.

Thanks! Your instructions were so easy to follow. This is just another example of how HP sucks and is NOT customer-focused. My HP PC is a piece of crap (hard drive crashed slightly over a year old and monitor is already going out), and HP only offered to sell me a $300 new Hard Drive and send me $50 rebate for a monitor. Going back to Dell when the next purchase comes around.
i just deleted easy internet sign-up from my computer nd now i cant use the internet!!!! i have a compaq laptop. presario V4000. i need help. how come i cant get on my internet?!?
There’s only one problem with me…DELETE is not an option (the DELTE button on my keyboard doesn’t do anything either). This thing is annoying the crap out of me. I worked with HP and they can’t figure it out either. THey want $298 for me to send it in.
and people wonder why I hate hp.
It denyed me access to stop the program, so I went to the folder that held the program the scheduler started and just deleted it directly from there
Show de bola …muito obrigado

Takk skal du ha. Har nettop resoftet en dv6000. Jeg fant den i prosesser som Hpsdpapp.exe , men din metode var jo klart den beste måten å fjerne den på.
