According to official HP support documentation, sp62981.exe was originally distributed for Windows 7 and Windows 8 operating systems. However, users have successfully installed this driver on Windows 10 and Windows 11 systems, often as a workaround for compatibility issues with newer driver versions.
A critical technical detail noted by users: installing sp62981.exe on Windows 10 requires enabling Windows Test Mode during installation, followed by disabling Test Mode after completion. This suggests that the driver is not fully compatible with Windows 10's driver signature enforcement requirements, which is expected behavior for a driver originally designed for Windows 7/8. One user reported: "本人亲测，装win8.1 x64的那个版本，就是sp62981，装的时候要开启win10的测试模式，装完在关闭测试模式就行" (I personally tested it, installed the Windows 8.1 x64 version, which is sp62981. During installation, you need to enable Windows 10 Test Mode, then disable it after installation).
Without this driver, the operating system would rely on the "Microsoft Basic Display Adapter," which results in poor screen resolution, lack of hardware acceleration, and inability to run graphics-intensive applications or manage external displays correctly.
In this specific instance, users again confirmed the file is not a virus, attributing the false positive flag to the methods used to package the game. This appears to be a rare anomaly and not a common distribution method for malware. sp62981.exe
This naming convention means that sp62981.exe is a self-extracting archive. When you run it, it unpacks its contents—the actual drivers and installation files—to a temporary folder on your system before executing the setup process.
The overwhelming evidence from multiple sources confirms that sp62981.exe is , not adware , and not spyware . It is an official HP driver package with a legitimate hardware protection function. No security analysis has identified this file as intentionally malicious.

Your antivirus is likely generating a false positive because the driver package contains code patterns similar to those used by malware, particularly within certain DLL files. This is common for hardware-level drivers that require system permissions. Upload the file to VirusTotal to confirm whether multiple engines detect it as malicious—sporadic detections from only a few engines typically indicate false positives.
You should remove sp62981.exe or prevent it from running if:
