Ok can some tell what the hell is this???

yesterday I log into my PC and whilst I logged something in the upper right corner of my screen appear something saying that is updating the system for TrayCFg.exe...

Now my question is what is a TrayCFg.exe I have never heard of it, and as soon as my pc was fully up and running I started Spybot-S&D! but seem not to find any trace of this so called TrayCFg.exe. I ran regedit and found keys with the following descriptions containing the so called TrayCFg.exe, they are as follow:
Dtry
TrayCFg.exe
DataTray
also when I ran a msconfig it was in the startup files.
I noticed that the msconfig showed it was stored in file in C:\WINDOWS\DataTray\ and when I located the file with the help of 7Zip I found it and used the File Shredder to delete but it keeps coming back.
so now am wondering what am I to do. I ran esetnod32 antivirus and it didn't find anything.

Can some please help!!!!?????

Hello franksbz,

Did/do you have a printer and its software on the computer?

Best regards.

Yeah

Yes Tashi I have a printer installed and connected to my PC. So what does that have to with the nagging TrayCfg.exe process?

A search on TrayCFg indicates it may be a printer's software updating itself. :)

See if you have a program installed for the printer and if so check the settings for automatic updates.

Best regards.

OK what does this mean?

Also when I terminated the firefox.exe process and the TrayCfg.exe process from the task manager this error message came up:

TrayCfg.exe - Unable To Locate Component
This application has failed to start because mozsqlite3.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.

Hello franksbz,

I'd checked the HP site and drew a blank on TrayCFg. :)

Have you been editing registry keys by any chance?

It is possible for problems to arise after terminating a program via Task Manager. Also see http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/search?q=mozsqlite3.dll

What is your operating system please and is this a personal computer?

Best regards.
