HXDL AL is part of an automated helpdesk software called Aveo Attune. HXDL AL downloads and runs a file called hxiul.exe.
Attune is billed as a "revolutionary service" that provides targeted "Intelligram messages." These messages are said to provide the user with information about products, services, or common computer problems. Attune runs quietly in the background and automatically updates it's "Intelligrams" when the user is connected to the Internet.
