HP Wolf Security Issues

[funk0id]

HP Wolf Security is back again and causing issues with newly procured laptops.

De-bloat runs as a script prior to any application install as part of autopilot, but fails to remove wolf security. A further manual run tends to clean it up but by that point other apps such as chrome have already been deployed.

Not sure if its something under the user context that's causing the issue or not.

HP have posted updated manual removal instructions that seem a little different to what the script is running - https://support.hpwolf.com/s/article/How-to-uninstall-HP-Wolf-Pro-Security

I've added a new version with their wmic instructions, see if that works

We had a brand-new HP installed the other day, but the Wolf Security stuff caused quite a headache. It took us a while to notice that this would cause some strange SyncML not found failures because realtime protection could not be enabled for Microsoft Defender.

I think HP makes it extra hard ...

Are there any steps to remove it apart from just a standard uninstall? Happy to add them in, I just don't have any HP devices to grab the details from
