This Google search shows that "chandir.dat" is a file related to BackWeb
Lite. BackWeb Lite is an updater program usually found in HP computers
(like for WildTangent games) and HP printer software. If this fits your
situation, then BackWeb Lite is not malware. You can disable the
automatic updating of HP software by either looking in the HP software
or by using the System Configuration Utility.
