The hphc_service.exe file, when executed, launches a process from the company Hewlett-Packard known as HP Support Assistant. This is software that you can download from the HP website. What it does is to provide the system with tools to enhance computer performance by alerting the user about upgrades that may be necessary to boost system performance, as well as alerting users about system issues that it has detected. The file is only applicable to HP computers that run on Windows Operating System.

This being said, the general option of users is to disable the file and remove it from the startup list. The general disk location of the file is C:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\HP Health Check\hphc_service.exe. The file has an average size on disk of 122.55 KB.
