Is Backweb Lite a problem?

[Paul.]

I have always run Adaware for checking for Spyware and hopefully this has
kept my system free from nasties. However, after a recommendation I tried
Spyhunter which reported that I had Backweb Lite running, and that this was
a severe threat.

After looking round the web I am confused as to whether this is a threat or
not, and how I would remove it if it is.

Any feedback very welcome.

FYI, Dell 8300 running XP.

Thanks.
