    I just bought a logitec MX700 and installed the drivers for it; when i go to my process tree i noticed this file running backWeb-8876480.exe i searched my pc for it and it came from the logitech folder; anyone know what this is for? i feel like its spyware since its named backweb (sounds like backdoor).

    There is also another file from logitech running in the background called EM_EXEC.exe...any help on that file would be appreciated too.
