It is in your logitec folder, just delete the Desktop messenger folder. It makes your cpu run at 100%. Very dangerous for those who run their comps all the time. Delete it. It doesnt come back

Windows firewall flags it and gives option to block it. But windows does not recognize the publisher name because it shows as unknown.

Backweb installed itself with the logitech mouse, Kodak software and f-secure without asking if that was ok. I found over 800 enteries in the reg. It used 45% of cpu and made the computer unusable. I say delete it. This is the worst kind of maleware because it comes from big companies that should know better.

I have Norton Internet Security 2007 and it does not recognize Backweb as malicious. I used a-squared online and it said it is malicious. The process is apart of Desktop Messenger from Logitech. When you put their software on your computer, it does not say anything about Backweb, but it does give you the option of installing Desktop Messenger, which is what Backweb is a part of. If you do not want it on your computer, just do not install the Desktop Messenger.

It has been able to change my Zone Alarm settings. When I "kill" the process it somehow re-allows itself and gives itself full access to the internet.

Well it is a pain to unistall and the company is claiming that it is not spyware, call me paranoid but I think they want you to keep it on your computer. I think I may just end up pulling the files it out of my registery (this is a bad idea though) and hope it goes away
   

It's definitely spyware but it's not too malicious. It came installed on my HP computer. Once I took my computer in to be fixed, and I had just down a complete recovery so Backweb was still installed. The tech guy refused to believe that it came on my computer! I'd definitely get rid of it, unless you really want whatever service it's providing (on HP computers, it's used for pretty useless updates from HP). It uses up too many resources.

Since i uninstalled all programmes related Logitech, backweb dissapeared.

Everytime this kicks in, I might as well throw my PC in the bin. It's not dangerous as such but I really hate how ir hogs the processor

I know i can't uninstall it with add/remove...I got ban from logitech because of this software, i became upset with them after they had no info on how to remove it. We as consumers should file a claim against them.

I trust Logitech and I think it's harmless, but I terminate it anyway

It's an app for updating, but looks like an trojan...
