Whilst checking my XP firewall settings I noticed 5 HP exceptions that I had not added myself. The 2 that concern me are hpqkygrp.exe and hpqtra08.exe. I have read conflicting opinions about these and don't understand why they inserted themseves as firewall exceptions. I'd appreciate and ideas.

They are drivers for some Hewlett Packard Imaging devices that you recently installed.

Thanks - what bothered me was how they had included themselves as firewall exceptions and should I let them stay there.
