Logitech Running the Dreaded BACKWEB

BACKWEB is considered spy-ware by many. I saw its signature in my Temp folder, the presence of the file IADHIDE4.DLL. I began to wonder how such crap penetrated my mighty Norton defenses until I saw the value of my HKEY_CURRENT_USER\­software\­microsoft\­windows\­currentversion\­run\­ldm key:

C:\Program Files\­Logitech\­Desktop Messenger\­8876480\­Program\­BackWeb-8876480.exe

Evidently, I installed it when I installed drivers for my Logitech mouse. Consternation. Uproar.
