HP Wireless Assistant, yotally safe background program for Bluetooth and WLAN configurations. Disabling it will not make it impossible to control your WLAN as usual (default down in right corner with icon), and both WLAN and Bluetooth works without this HPWAMain on startup

is part of wireless application bundled with HP computers that allows you to control different settings on the computer's wireless devices such as Bluetooth and WLAN.

This HP's Wireless assistant...Not needed, but can make switching wireless assets on and off easier. May be helpful if you routinely use several different networks and/or bluetooth devices. Difinitely not needed.
