Yes, Freudi has made a strong tour-de-force. Bravo, Freudi.
Chas:
If you do have HP's Share-to-web software and you are not using it/ or no longer need it, consider removing it.
"HP Photosmart Printers - Removing the HP Share-to-Web Upload Folder"

It is most likely the HP software can be removed, if desired, by using Control Panel's Add or Remove Programs.
