HP Laptops Keylogging problem

It's come to my attention that on a wide range of HP Laptops there are Synaptics touchpad and Conexant audio drivers (older models only) which have code which inadvertantly records keystrokes in cleartext to the local hard drive. Whilst not malicious in itself it unlocks a door which could be used by malware to gain access to confidential systems.

We recommend setting HP's support centre software to auto update your workstations in general and we will make a point of checking our clients laptops during our normal maintenance times to ensure that the driver versions for these items are not susceptible to being used this way.
