I have ran just about every scan possible against this program and have not found anthing wrong with it. For that matter HP runs it and is a safe process.

check on later, not considered dangerous from more information. If it hogs resources, its gone.

HP's 3D Driveguard senses sudden motion by your laptop and parks the drive, for example, if you drop your laptop or knock it off a desk. it uses few resources, so unless it is causing problems, do not delete. More information

HPService.exe is use in conjuncture with ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection. This is the program that detects movement in your computer to decide if the hard drive needs to be stopped or locked to protect damage.

As I understand it, there is a Trojan that has exactly the same name as a legit HP program. Which means... It is hard to know if this is a legit or bad file.

I would like to let anyone interested in knowing, that this appeared after doing a fresh install. It cannot be trojan or malware as I had all drivers and updates on disk, and was not on the internet when this appeared after installing drivers. The crappy thing is, under services, they (HP) don't even give a description of this service, which, in my opinion, makes it seem suspicious. However, I do concur that this is to do with the 3D Driveguard.
