| Potentially dangerous. Found this (supposedly) HP program on a dell laptop consuming all available CPU. | |||

| Friends, just got off phone with HP Support. This file was identified as a virus based on 1) its location and 2) the addition of the ".exe" as its file type. On my laptop, it was found on C:\Windows\System32 I think. The legit file would simply be "Hpservice" and found in an HP file located in C:\Programs. I repeatedly asked the associate as to whether he was positive on these details. He said he was. I deleted it. I hope this information helps! Thanks for having a forum like this. Peace! :) -JC | |||

| There is no such thing as a executional file without the .exe attached. If HP support says it should have no .exe-ending then they don´t know what they are talking about. The file has to do with the HP Mobile Dataprotectionsystem. The Correct name is "HpService.exe", and it is located in the System32 folder. happy new year KW IT-tecnichian/COI | |||

| Charles has it correct.. The HPsevice.exe is a safe HP program. However, there is a Trojan out there that has the same exact name but is NOT safe!!! It sends out our info and gives us viruses. That one is the one found somewhere in system 32 -but NOT the one under HP 3D Driveguard is the safe one. | |||

| When using HP firmware like the systemfile HPservice.exe on a HP PC with Vista don't try to uninstall the standard HP firmware otherwise you won't be able to regular boot anymore let alone restart windows. This systemfile cannot be deleted without using the Takeown command first and it will corrupt the windows registry. Disabling HPservice in services will result in a whole bunch of errors as none of the network-internet programs can start, use automatic instead of manual. | |||
