Thumbs up Solution to RUNNER ERROR - HP connections.exe
I understand that you are receiving an error message stating that RUNNER ERROR - Runner file name (Updates from HP connections.exe) lacks a '-' (the app id separator).

Solution:

1. Click Start and select Run.
2. Type MSConfig and press Enter.
3. Click the Startup tab.
4. From the list, uncheck the "HP updates" or "Compaq Connections" or "HP Connections" option.
5. Click OK.
6. Restart the system.

If you see a message "System Configuration Utility You are using the selective startup for troubleshooting your system", check the 'Do not show this dialogue box again' option and click OK. This occurs if you are using the Selective startup option but not using the normal startup to reduce the number of startup programs.

Try Clamwin AV and run a memory scan.
