I found "Backweb Server" running on my "New" HP Pavillion and determined it was "factory" installed for some kind of automatic updates. HP tech support didn't know anything about it. You could install some tcp port monitor like TDImon to determine what app is running on the port.
HP knows about it. Tech supp itself does not know about it because it is not in their "scripts." It was one of the first factory installed items I removed from my system. I found I had to remove the backweb software plus about four other "pests" sending data to HP ip addresses. -S- Disclaimer: My own two cents.
