This is from the Pest Patrol website:
"BackWeb is a generic, background downloading tool that software vendors can
incorporate into their product to download data (e.g. product updates) to
the user's PC. Its operation depends on the instructions given to it by the
individual software vendor who bundles it.
BackWeb has been associated with numerous large companies working on a
corporate level to deliver timely information and updates. Essentially,
BackWeb is a communications program whereby a large amount of users may be
contacted in an instant."
It is also used by spyware. Run adaware from Lavasoft to make sure there is
not some malware on your computer.
