Disable or uninstal HP ProtectTools security manager

My fingerprint scanner has gone down.
I assume it is a hardware issue as have gone through all HP recomendations to get it working at: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&dlc=en&docname=c02519007&lc=en&jumpid=reg_r1002_us...
but nothing has worked.
Anyway the notebook never leaves my house so it's not an issue. However, everytime I turn the notebook on and log in with my password, HP security manager butts in and spends a minute looking for the reader before telling me the biometric authentication service is not working and asks if I would like to continue without it.
Can I disable this program to speed boot up time as it is not needed in my instance?

Hi @taliz ,
To get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial product. You can do this at Commercial Forums.
Even though this is a Commercial product, You could follow these steps, even though, I don't recommend this as it is Security Tools.
Step 1:Click Start, then "All Programs." Select "HP Protect Tools Security Manager" from the list of programs.
Step 2:Click "Settings." Click the box to the left of the menu. The green check in the box should disappear, which means that the application is disabled.
Step 3:Close the window and restart the computer. 
Hope this helps you.
Thanks.

    Hi le.hamzou,
    Previous suggestions were to update the Security Manager if there was one. There were also these add ons:
    [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/fingerfox-se/ Fingerfox], but I am not sure if it will work on win8, it does on win7.
    Another work around I saw was [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search/?q=ietab&appver=29.0&platform=all IE Tab].

  • Uninstall HP ProtectTools Security Manager

    Hello, Can you please help me with HP ProtectTools Security Manager removal? (HP ProBook 4530s)Reasons:  /slowing Windows startup and login  /extremely slow loading  /can not remove user password  /blocking some security accesses (I´m admin, so why is this???) I tried to uninstall it via Windows Control panel, side-provided software and also by following uninstall-steps found somewhere in forums. All these metods (3) with no results... Nothing works. I would really appreciate some help or tips. Thank You  

    Mrsenter,
    FINALLY GOT IT WORKING! 
    After 50+ hours of installs, uninstalls and reboots I found the problem and fix.
    Problem: Everytime I uninstalled the fingerprint driver it automatically re-installed itself with these files
    C:\Windows\system32\ATSwpWDFColnst.dll
    C:\Windows\system32\DRIVERS\ATSwpWDF.sys
    C:\Windows\system32\WdfCoinstaller01007.dll
    After this happened a funny thing happens. The option Device Manager_Other devices_ Fingerprint Sensor then dissapears
    Fix:
    Just after the fingerprint driver reinstalls itself theres a window of about 20 secs where the option Device Manager_Other devices_ Fingerprint Sensor still appears. At this point I right clicked and updated that driver as per instructions http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Operating-Systems-and-Software/DigitalPersona-AuthenTec-fingerprint-and-Windows-7/td-p/218831.
    The correct files for the fingerprint driver are now:
    C:\Windows\system32\DRIVERS\ATSwpWDF.sys
    C:\Windows\system32\TrueSuitColnst02020000.dll
    C:\Windows\system32\WdfCoinstaller01009.dll
    C:\Windows\system32\WinBioPlugins\ATEngineAdapter.dll
    And now it works...
    Tip: Download fingerprint Driver before and have it extracted so you can make the 20 sec window for updating the driver
    Many thanks,
    Sa

  • HP ProtectTools Security Manager and Windows 10

    I am going to be updating to Windows 10, howevver it is saying that the HP ProtectTools Security Manager is not compatible with Windows 10. 2 questions I have. The first is: Is there going to be a replacement for these tools for Windows 10?Second is: How do I uninstall the tools so that I can proceed, properly?

    Indeed! These instructions are useful but there is a newer version of Client Security Manager http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?swItemId=ob_141863_1 Just to inform others users, HP protect tools security Manager has been rebranded to Client Security Manager. So it's the same software, they just change the name and the logo

  • HP Protecttools Security Manager Suite for Windows 10

    Where to I find a Windows 10 compatible HP Protecttools Security Manager Suite for download?  Had to uninstall when upgrading to Windows 10.

    @Honour Student, how did you make copies of the installers? I'm hopelessly out of my depth here  and need to be walked thru. I own a Probook 4540s notebook running windows 7. My processor is intel core i5. I really don't want to lose my fingerprint swipe security feature. Please I need help, this stuff is driving me nuts

  • Digitalpersona´s HP protecttools security manager does not recognize sign in pages as such with FF4

    With FF3.6 and previous, when visiting i.e. my bank site, and loading a sign-in page previously recorded with sign-in info and passwords stored with ProtectTools Password Manager, I was prompted to fill and submit such stored info. Since upgrade to FF4, the mentioned soft does not recognize sign in pages as such, therefore, not prompting for fill in and submitt, nor does it recognize sign in pages on any site, to prompt for recording the sign in info or password.

    I think that it is something wrong with kernel and graphic drivers but i'm not able to solve it from the beginning of using of Arch by me.
    I'm not so sure this issue is software-related only because in my case it seems the laptop screen enters power-saving mode (10-min timeout) on its own without any events logged (as shown by dmesg) so my next thought was OK, I'm going to get rid of this issue disabling the screen power-saving timeout in the BIOS and set it to never power down or something like that and from then on managing power mode manually; ie: when I want to power down I will just use systemctl suspend/hibernate which work fine ... problem is: there are no related options in my BIOS for such timeout.
    The only timeouts I have are in /etc/systemd/logind.conf set to 30min (#IdleActionSec) (commented) by default so these are not in effect because the screens goes blank after 10m which is less than the (default) 30m in logind. Maybe setting loggind to 9m (un-commented) to catch the event before the machine-default one ?
    IdleActionSec=9min
    IdleAction=suspend
    Will check it and report back.

  • No security manager: RMI class loader disabled

    i tried to add a filter to my client jmx
    my filter is:
    class Filter implements NotificationFilter {
    public boolean isNotificationEnabled(Notification n) {
              return (n.getType().equals("example.user.remove"))
              ? true
              : false;
    in my client i use:
    Filter filter=new Filter();
    Listener listener=new Listener();
    mbeanServer.addNotificationListener(mbeanName, listener, filter, null);
    if i dont put the filter(if i use null) my client works but when i include the filter I have this error:
    java.rmi.UnmarshalException: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Filter (no security manager: RMI class loader disabled); nested exception is:
         java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Filter (no security manager: RMI class loader disabled)
    what is wrong?

    You need to make sure that Filter.class is on your classpath, either directly as the .class file or in a JAR file that is on the classpath.

  • No security manager: RMI class loader disabled Error at RMI client programm

    Hello JAAZ,
    I got the same error yesterday. I was a little frustrated, because the day before everything was fine...
    java.rmi.UnmarshalException: error unmarshalling return; nested exception is:
            java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: uk.co.it.ete.server.ETE_Server (no security manager: RMI class loader disabled)
            at sun.rmi.registry.RegistryImpl_Stub.lookup(Unknown Source)The solution was, that I did some refactoring and some of the classes were now in different packages. I updated the system on the client-side and now everything works again.
    I think debugging RMI-applications is not as easy as "normal" applications ..
    maybe this helps..
