HELP I have a hp computer that keeps trying to force me to download some program and it wont go away! Any advice on how to stop it? Also there is a spinning disc graphic in the center of my screen if that helps at all.

Ctrl + ALT + Delete -> Open task manager
Find the program that is probably it and close it. Make sure it's the one you want, don't close anything that you need.
Start + R
Type in services.msc and find the program that you closed earlier. Set its startup type to manual and if it is running stop it.

Seams to be some hp software. I have also an hp pc and it also wanted to do anything anytime.
After Win 8 release upgrate with a clean Windows
no problems anymore
It's the best way. Just install windows without the stupid preinstalles software

Did you try the second part of my post? Open up Run using Start + R and find it in there and disable it?
