In task manager, I noticed that there were dozens of instances of this running. Can anyone tell me what it is, and why there are so many instances?

Thank you.

    Hello JNygrenMN, how are you?

    I am an independent consultant and user like you!

    I'm happy to help you!

    "BridgeCommunication.exe" is a process that belongs to HP's "BridgeCommunication" Software.

    This process is not essential for Windows!

    * Important! * Some malware can disguise itself with this process name! A complete system scan is recommended to detect possible malware.

    This software is usually located at:

    C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\hpcustomcapcomp.inf_amd64_79c5c41204d03777\x64\

    * Information taken from the file.net website (link below)

    * Note: This is a non-Microsoft website. The page appears to be providing accurate, safe information. Watch out for ads on the site that may advertise products frequently classified as a PUP (Potentially Unwanted Products). Thoroughly research any product advertised on the site before you decide to download and install it.

    If you still have a problem I hope your answer!
