   I don't have an H-P scanner.  The file is H-P's Memory Disc installation   
   file.  Apparently, it was identified by Outpost as a 'dangerous file'.  It   
   was quarantined for some time, then finally deleted.

   The computer wants to (continually) install it, but claims that the file is   
   missing.  I tried H-P application recovery utility which states that the   
   program has installed, but the file is still 'missing'.  I have a couple of   
   work-arounds to get it off the screen, but would like to end this misery.
