HPOTHB and HPOTHB07 files

I cant seem to find much information about his file, however it sounds like a virus of some sort. Download a free virus checker and give your system a scan.

Try AVG from http://www.grisoft.com/us/us_index.php

Re: HPOTHB and HPOTHB07 files


I also have those files. I think they may have something to do with the "HP Photo & Imaging" program automatically installed when you install an HP inkjet printer.

Hi SweetJen420 and welcome to A2K



I believe this is pointing you in the right direction, Assuming you have an HP Inkjet printer or scanner,
You could try:

Open up your scanner/imaging software and search teh drop down menus for configuration or options. Check under general, save, edit, file locations etc. until you have an idea of what the program is doing, and where it is doing it. Then make some changes and see what happens.

Or,
Go into options for HP Photo Centre and look for:

create temp files
create undo files
temp file locations.

turn them all off.


Make sure you make a note of any changes you make in the event the scanner or printer which ever you have is not working to your liking.

If all else fails read the manual Something that I never do


Never hurts to get a second opinion and you never know what it may find,

A couple other free online scans for you
Make sure they are set to clean automatically:

TrendMicro's HouseCall
ActiveScan

You should try to delete any files that these scanners are unable to clean.

Let us know how you make out and what you find
