| Re: Task Scheduler Looks like some sort of malware.
Hewlett-Packard is listed in Program Files, not HP. I.e. C:\Program
Files\Hewlett-Packard
Navigate to ...
C:\Program Files\HP\{AAC4FC36-8F89-4587-8DD3-EBC57C83374D}\pexpress
Right click hphped06.exe | Properties | Version tab
Hint. Company should show: Hewlett-Packard Company
There should be a description on both General and Version tabs.
This info is part of the file and not all files have real good info.
Especially if it is spyware or a virus. Or whoever put it together was lazy
or secretive.
On the Version tab.
Click a category on the left to display the information on the right.
Other version information
Item Name:
Company
File Version
Internal Name
Language
Original File Name
Product Name
Product Version
Sometimes, if someone was really industrious, there is info under the
Summary tab also.
16-bit programs do not have a Version tab.

Hope this helps. Let us know.
