HP support thinks it's a virus or spyware. Pretty sure it can be stopped by setting the following reg keys: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Hewlett-Packard\HPQToaster\ToasterState REG_DWORD = 0x00000001 set it to 0, HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-2725257036-2662075440-3978120773-1001\Software\Hewlett-Packard\HPQToaster\ToasterState REG_DWORD = 0x00000001 set it to 0. Now it no longer starts.

Might be related to HP Update, the application that attempts to provide you only the HP s/w updates needed for your system. Observed on HP tx1000 laptop running Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit. Appears in the folder [C:\Program Files (x86)\Hewlett-Packard\Shared]. It is irresponsible the HP provides no info about this file. Note that "toaster" in UNIX-land refers to a shell script that watches for security patches.

HPQToaster.exe creates the volume levels popup when you use the dedicated volume keys on your hp laptop. Hence the 'popup' reference. To verify this adjust your volume with the keys to view the popup volume level, then kill or suspend the hpqpopup process and try the same again. Also its a .Net application so you could subclass its functionality if you were really curious.
