Where on hp.com can I download HPUSBFW.exe?

[gredhead]

I need HPUSBFW.exe, and several non-HP sites have it, but they have different sizes, and some sites have suspicious pop-ups so I don't trust any of them.  Where on hp.com is the download for this utility?

What machine is it used on?

In case you are still interested in this thread, here is what we found:

The executable HPUSBFW.exe is included in BIOS update packages for hardware across the HP range (termed ROMPaq). It appears that the executable has been extracted from some of these packages and posted on download sites such as CNET and Softpedia; hence the multiplicity of sizes and versions.

Even so, it ought to be straightforward to download the ROM update package for your specific hardware from the HP support pages so you can get a verified copy. If though, your hardware is not one of those supported this way, then using another that from another model will probably work.

For example, the HP 2530p Elitebook includes the executable in the package found here:

(or direct dld link here: ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp58001-58500/sp58248.exe)

Hope this is of use even thought the thread is rather long in the tooth.
