hpwebreg.exe continues to run and hangs

[Gilberto17]

Moved house and needed to reinstall HP Deskjet 3050 All-in-One J610 Series (wireless).
HPwebreg would continue to po up and hang, till I run in in IE10 (!)... I re-registered the product even if I had registered it already years ago (used serial number...).
Now hpwebreg continues to pop and hangs in Chrome.

Should i serach for it and delete or is there a mosre "decent" manner to stop it from running... as I already registered? 🙂
Thanks in advance.
