Looks like some HP laptops and tablets come with a keylogger courtesy of a Conexant audio driver...

HP laptops covertly log user keystrokes, researchers warn


You can remove the offending app by opening an elevated powershell prompt and copy each command and run it.

Code:
Remove-Item -Path "C:\Windows\System32\MicTray.exe" -Force
Remove-Item -Path "C:\Windows\System32\MicTray64.exe" -Force
