Have an HP computer? Check for the Conexant keylogger called MicTray

If you have an HP computer, or Speccy tells you that you have a Conexant audio driver, check to see if you have the MicTray keylogger.

UPDATE: HP has started releasing new drivers. See https://twitter.com/teroalhonen/status/863027614956609536

Ina at Axios has a good update here. It looks like some debugging code made it into production. I’m still baffled how a 64-bit driver with that kind of flaw made it past the Windows driver verification steps.
