HpseuHostLauncher.exe is it a Trojan

Sorry for my late reply. I reply to other threads too, so your thread got vanished in between the rest of the threads in my profile.

Yes, it's completely normal. If you want, you can disable it to increase the boot speed. I have an EPSON printer, and it's enabled in startup, so far no issues at all.

Hi Nadirgueddoud -

I'm Kevin B. Independent advisor and a Windows user like you. I do apologize for the inconvenience that you experiencing right now, let me help you sort things out.

The HpseuHostLauncher.exe appears to be a part or service process of HP program installed on your computer. Do you have any HP hardware connected or program installed on your machine?

To make sure that computer is safe against any malware threats or infections, please follow the steps below.

Boot your computer in safemode. Safemode is a windows environment used to troubleshoot, diagnose and repair corrupted windows system files. While computer is in safemode, no 3rd party application will run, not even your anti-virus, and selected services needed by windows to boot are the only running service on the computer. This ensures us that the computer will only use applications and services at a minimal level to avoid 3rd party conflicting application and services.

Please click on the link below and follow the steps in booting your computer in safemode.

Once in safemode, your can run a scan using your Anti-Malware scanner or your can use the Microsoft Safety Scanner just to make sure that computer doesn't have any threats.

After the scan, please perform cleanboot on computer.

Restart your computer normally and check if the pop-up still appears.

Hope this will help and have a bless day!
