The Windows process called ie.dll is a type of dynamic link library or DLL file that is a part of HP Backup and Recovery, which is a data recovery software product created by Hewlett-Packard or HP. It is basically a program that helps protect data from losing, and system. This kind of software works through scheduled snapshots of the HP computer or laptop, and stored in a more secure and protected location on the hard disk drive, a network drive, and even an external optical media. HP Backup and Recovery is installed on HP computers, which include both laptops and netbooks, and the ie.dll file is an important component that needs to stay on the Windows PC. This file automatically runs during the startup of the Windows, once the software that houses it is successfully installed on the computer system, and if so, it needs to continue running in the background. The software or part of its functions may not properly work if this particular file is stopped or terminated. Furthermore, the ie.dll file is a process that is compatible with most Microsoft Windows Operating Systems, such as Windows 7, Windows XP, and Windows Vista.
