As you know, HP Notebooks came with junkware pre-installed. Of particular concern, Vongo is a real menace. While I’ve been able to use an app to remove its visible tracs from the registry (on an account-by-account basis), I feel as though it could resurface under some unforseen circumstance. How can I possible remove the installer, rootkit and/or tracks and triggers from the master restore partition, boot sector and anywhere else, for a permanent solution?

Biggest Offender: Vongo installer, for online movie subscription
I use revo uninstaller pro to mitigate the installer, but when another account is created, vongo installer revives.
If I factor restore the computer, then all of the malware restores. This stuff was put onto the system by HP.
Any suggestions?
Thanks so much!
