hccommander.exe legitimate file?

[bbtmp2010]

hello

my firewall reported that hccommander.exe  in C:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\HP Health Check\ActiveCheck\vista requested access to the internet when i launched PC Health Check.

i found out that hccommander.exe has been automatically at the beginning of june.

is it a legitimate file from HP?

what is the use?

another folder with similar name exists with only one file "stuff"

C:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\HP Health Check\ActiveCheck\vista2

         is it a previous version cleaned up when the other forlder got created?

i couldn't find it on the internet nor on hp websites.

many thanks in advance.

HP Health Check is a utility that is designed to alert you to potential conditions on your hard drive, and can suggest fixes, performance enhancements, and updates on a variety of issues. It also provides you with notifications of current solutions that are targeted to your specific notebook model.

HCCommander.exe is a file that runs in the background and submits the current version information to HP and also checks if there are any updates available.

This is a legitimate HP Software to my knowledge.

For more information of HP Health Check, please visit the following weblink:

Not only Vista & Vista 2 folders, but also Customer, Dashboard, Objects, Objects_pm, product_line, vunlerabilities folders in HP Health Check also contains file by name Stuff. I think this is some logs that it will update into this stuff file that are helpful for HP Health Check scans.
