Computer was very slow, so rebooted. Opening Task Manager on reboot indicated everything was normal, then for the first time ever that I can recall, I saw hpdarc.exe intermittently spike processor usage to total 100% for a second or two, and again a few seconds later, then it disappeared from the Process list. Suspicious activity, taking the processor usage to 100% for the first time I can recall.
