PestPatrol: hpfsched.exe KeenValue/Incredifind FP?

[FanJ]

I guess PestPatrol (def's from 13 Dec. 2003) gave me a false positive on this file:

c:\windows\hpfsched.exe

Report from PP:

Pest: KeenValue/Incredifind
Pest Info:
Category: Adware
Background Info: Click here
File Info: In File: c:\windows\hpfsched.exe
Date: 04-07-2000 21:45:24
Certainty: Confirmed
Threatens: Confidentiality, Liability
Risk: Moderate - this file can be executed!
Advice: Delete or quarantine
Action: Ignored

The reposrt points to this PP-site:
http://pestpatrol.com/pestinfo/k/keenvalue.asp

I have two files on my system named: hpfsched.exe
C:\WINDOWS\hpfsched.exe
C:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\HPZ\Glue\hpfsched.exe

Both files are not exactly the same.
PP alerts only about the first one.
I guess that those files belong to my printer HP Deskjet 970 Cxi (maybe also belonging to my scanner....).
I have no idea what the purpose of that file is, neither what "glue" here means.....

I will later email PP-support about this.

Cheers, Jan.

It is a driver that has to do with printing and scanner schedueling. This one is for win me but they are all the same in regards to win version.
