Questionable file: HPCEE.exe

I have found what I term a questionable file:

C:\\ProgramFiles\hewlett-packard\sdp\ceement\HPCEE.exe, related to

C:\\Windows\tasks\HPCeeScheduleforkaryn.job. On 9-15-09 Windows Defender

flagged this for potentially unwanted behavior. On 10-01, this program,

HPCEE.exe was "preparing to access the internet" according to Norton

history.

On 10-13, I happened to be looking at Task Scheduler Library. I found a

scheduled task triggered by time: 6:02 PM 10-15-09 last run: never author

of task: me purpose: open a program:

C:\\ProgramFiles\hewlett-packard\sdp\ceement\HPCee.exe. This task was

scheduled to run every 6 days for the next 30 days. I suspected a virus or

intrusion of some sort. I never created that task. I called HP technical

support and the agent said it was not a legit HP program. He suggested

uninstalling my whole os. Seemed overkill. I just disabled the task.

After some Google searching and reading at forums, it appears that it is a

legit HP program file, but I suspect it was hijacked. I would appreciate

any input on the purpose of this program: HPCEE.exe, and if this was a virus

attack. Also I wonder if there is anything else I should do. Where was my

Norton?

I have Vista 32 bit, sp2, running Norton 360 antivirus and firewall and WD

malware as well. Thank-you. KC
