Does MSAS scan for Backweb-137903exe.? Understand that is
an adware/spyware by Backweb Technologies which offers
news and entertainment services in exchange for personal
usage information regarding the PC being sent back to
Backweb's servers for analysis.Many high range computer
manufactorers have entered into an agreement with backweb
to install this product by default on work-stations in
exchange for other services from the backweb
application. This program is registered security risk
and should be removed immediately.

The original intent of this program was for corporations
like Kodak,WD and HP to keep programs applications
updated without you having to do anything. The dodwn
side to this is many variants of backweb are floating
around and some collect information about you.
Point being, check Window's Firewall today and this
backweb had been added to the "exceptions" list without
my knowledge.. I "Googled" backweb after finding it
hiding in the Firewall..The list is ongoing for pages of
negitive information..

Doesn't MSAS run a scan of our whole system? Why wasn't
this found in the firewall program?
