I would pull it out personally.
Not only does this type of software spend a lot of resources "monitoring" your PC. When an error does occur, it usually still doesn't have a clue what's wrong.
The only advantage I find it carries is that for driver updating, it will point to the latest and greatest released that has been tested to be compatible with your device. Saying that, Windows does a pretty good job of keeping drivers updated.
Most of the parts in these sorts of machines aren't made by the vendor so you can usually find drivers on the manufacturers sites.
Worst case scenario. You go to the HP site and have to download and re-install it.
