It first appeared after I ran the self-installer program 6600e.exe provided by Visioneer for my Visioneer One-Touch 6600 USB scanner. It appears to be unnecessary for correct operation of my scanner. It is certainly not necessary for correct operation of Windows XP.

bmupdate.exe is a software bundler with scanner drivers allowing you to manage bookmarks as well as displaying third party advertisments. This process is not vital to the system or any application and should be removed to free up resources.
