HP's Smart Tank 7602 is a reliable all-in-one home office printer that's fast, but do the features and ink savings justify its higher price?

Earlier this month, a peculiar bug installed the HP Smart app onto PCs without permission. Windows added the app to computers without any HP devices connected or printer drivers installed.

In addition, it will repair any rebadged icons and remove the HP Smart App (ironic name, that). That's all expected behavior, but you don't just download and run this program.
