Administrators Marcos 4,720 Posted September 25, 2018 Administrators Share Posted September 25, 2018 UEFI detections cannot be cleaned. You have the following options: 1, Upgrade the UEFI firmware to a version that doesn't contain the Computrace application, if available. 2, Exclude Computrace from detection by the detection name. 3, Disable detection of potentially unsafe applications (not recommended).

Lexx Diamond 0 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 @MarcosThanks for the advice. I went to HP.com and there was an update for my BIOS. Initially I was getting this message "Volume 1\ComputraceComponents - a variant of EFI/CompuTrace.A potentially unsafe application - action selection postponed until scan completion". After updated the BIOS I am now getting this message when I do a memory and Boot sector/UEFI scan "ComputraceComponents - a variant of EFI/CompuTrace.A potentially unsafe application - action selection postponed until scan completion". If it's nothing to worry about I won't sweat it but at least now my BIOS us up to date. ☺️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itman 1,543 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 (edited) Check your BIOS for a setting in regards to theft protection options and the like. See this for a reference: https://forum.eset.com/topic/16830-detection-of-computrace-variants-in-uefi-and-pre-loaded-software/?do=findComment&comment=84392 . If your HP BIOS does not have any settings in regards to disabling theft protection or CompuTrace, your only other option is to specifically ask HP for a BIOS that has this feature disabled or not installed. I wish you luck on this since my past experience with HP on requests like this went nowhere. Their offshore tech support is only trained to handle specific and common requests.
