To smoothly complete the un-installation procedure, you should log on to your own computer as the Administrator, then you run Windows Task Manager to end related processes: pthosttr.exe and hpqWmiE.exe -- as the Manager is set to run with Windows by default.
Click Windows' Start menu and choose "Control Panel".
Hit "Add or Remove Programs" (for XP SP3 users only) or "Uninstall a program" (for Windows 8. / 8 / 7 / Vista readers).
Check out your system's programs list ("Currently installed programs" or "Uninstall or change a program"), locate the unwanted HP ProtectTools Security Manager (7.47MB) and press the Remove button behind it.
Now you should choose Yes option from "Add/Remove" or "Programs & Features" to verify you wish to continue with the removal process.
Please wait while your Windows helps configure the un-installation process automatically.
By far, you save your work and restart your computer manually.
If you're an experienced user, try identifying and clearing out HP-related leftovers in your system.
