Help removing a program + hijackthis log

My friends given my sister her old laptop and I'm trying to sort it all out for her to make it faster but there is a program called HP Image Zone Express that I can't get rid of. I've googled it and people have said to install HP Photosmart Essential 1.9 over it then uninstall but I cant find where to download that program anywhere (the threads I looked at where from 2006), this laptops pretty old lol. Can anyone help?

I'm going to post a hijackthis log in a min and would appreciate it if someone could take a look, thanks.

    Download, install, update and run a Quick Scan with Malwarebytes' AntiMalware. When complete, choose 'Remove Selected' if there is anything to remove and Reboot your computer.

    After restart, open the program again and go to 'Logs'. Double click on the log produced for today and post the contents here.

    Then produce another Hijack This log.

    What is the make and model of the laptop? Full model number.

  • It's a toshiba satellite PSL10E-02W004EN
  • Do you think it's worth buying 2 512 sticks of ram

    It only has 256 atm but it's half price only buying 1 512 which I think will be sufficient

    Toshiba Satellite L10-281

    Download and save CPU-Z to your Desktop. Double click on the file to extract the folder within. Open the folder and double click on the 'Z' icon.

    Look under Memory or SPD to find out which type of RAM is installed.

    An extra 512MB module would be fine.
  • Thank you for all the help. Do you know how I can rid of the HP program?
