It is part of BackWeb. BackWeb is used by many programs including some
anti-virus programs to update themselves in the background. If it just
appeared then what were the last few programs you installed? Check to see if
any of them use BackWeb. Some common programs that use it are: anything by
Logitech, anything by Kodak, F-Secure antivirus, and many more.

Hi MsMaureen,

Have you recently installed a Web Camera from Logitech? Logitech
installs Logitech Desktop Messenger. That file is part of Desktop Messenger
as Spyware. It is identified as Spyware by McAfee Privacy Service 6's
Anti-Spyware Scanning.

While it may be spyware in some cases you have to be sure before removing
it. If you remove BackWeb you may stop antivirus updates.
