Hi Joshua,
I found this link which addresses it:
http://www.backweb.com/services/html/spyware.html
It looks like both Compaq and Logitech bundle it. I think you should be able to remove the
Logitech software without affecting the mouse drivers, however, if there's anything specific
about the software (for example, customizable buttons, etc.) this will probably be disabled.
