File purpose and description:

Hpztsb12.exe is a program file that is designed to be used with printers on HP (Hewlitt Packard) computers. The exact disk and file location is also shown below to verfiy it is not spyware, as many spyware programs use similiar names and just locate them elsewhere on your hard drive. Always check the proper disk location of your programs if you are suspicious of spyware or adware. This program was required to have for printing before Windows XP came along, and is not required to run at startup any longer. It opens a system tray icon to handling various printing and printer features. You will also find various names like HPztsb11.exe, HPztsb10.exe, HPztsb09.exe, etc... all are pretty much similiar. (See the details below for the actual location of this file.)

General information:
Be aware that many tasks will be similiar names to existing tasks or processes. You can always view the running tasks on your computer by pressing ctrl-alt-del to view the windows "task manager", and then view the "processes" tab. This will show you all tasks running or currently active on your PC. Although this shows you all running tasks, it does not show dll file thats are loaded, as they get loaded as part of other processes. Many spyware writers attempt to hide their files on your computer, for example, hpztsb12.exe may be intentionally misspelled to look like a similiar task, or spyware may be named very similiar to a Windows system task. The reason they do this is so you cannot easily recognize the name in your tasklist as I have mentioned above. Make sure always check the location of the file if you are concerned. You can always find the location of hpztsb12.exe on your computer by using your Windows search options, but I will also try to list the file location of every file described on this website, so you can verify the correct location. You can view the entire tasklist directory with the link below.
