[LOL That looks familiar,right down to the exact same numbers.If you look in your "program
files" under Hewlett Packard(orH/P) folders you will find Back Web.It's a tracking program
that is supposed to aid you in surfing.I consider it spyware and removed it with Spybot
(www.lurkhere.com in the nice files section).Hope this helps.JB]
