    Hi, I can't seem to get one problem fully fixed before another appears.

    The following has appeared as a "scheduled task to begin running as of April 28th" and everyday after in every niche & corner of my PC. It is calling itself by my PC'S name with a backslash and Compaq Owner!

    "C:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\Digital Imaging\Bin\hpqfrucl.exe" -I "#Hewlett-Packard#hp officejet 6100 series#1172686440"

    What is a FRU Task?

    I came across it by accident while looking to uninstall something! What do I do with this? I cannot seem to get rid of all the bugs and whatever on my PC. I really can't enjoy a day of this new computer I swear.

    Thanks for any direction....AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    iIt's Me-again -- I just saw a second 'Task' scheduled in that same place (Control Panel>Schedule Tasks> and they're under add tasks)...it is called a "Web Reg" and this is the crazy info...I did not schedule it either...

    "C:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\Digital Imaging\Bin\hpqwrg.exe" /TaskName 20070328135538 /N "OfficeJet 6110xi" /M Q1639A /S MY37TH62JX2R /AP 303 /F /T

    Hi

    Both of those tasks are related to your HP printer software and are the reminders for you to register the software or hardware on HPs site, they should once your click register if you gain a popup message disapear, or you can just delete them from Scheduled Tasks.

    But they are not malware or harmful.
