It is both. Many malware programs use the names of legitimate programs, or
names that sound similar to legitimate programs, to disguise themselves. If
you have the program on an HP laptop and research shows that it belongs
there, then it's most likely a legitimate program and not a malware program.
If you want to be sure use at least one of the many available malware
scanners to check your system.
