Hi, Yes, some items from HP tools for devices are false positives with several antivirus or antimalware suites....
I've seen Terminate, Killapps or similar on my HP.
Here is an HP forum thread about it:

That's nothing>> have a look at this big false positive this year:

If you have any doubts, you can scan one file at a time, with some of the best antivirus scan engines, free, very easily here:

Just Browse to your file in the Explorer window that comes up, when you highlight the file the path will show in the Jotti space, then submit the file and wait a few seconds for a reply.
