It is definately NOT "tray icon from which you can access the Control Panel Mouse properties and help".
Expresso it is definately associated with logitech mouses. it doesn't appear to be vital to running your mouse as it isn't necessary with other mouses so disable it run msconfig tab: startup
Lee Agree with Jamesy re buttons with Win98. Exe also occasionally "misbehaves".
4llmighty This file is needed for your Logitech mouse. When disabled you extra buttons won't work.
TJ Mouse Driver for Windows 95, I've got it on Windows 98 and occasionally, if the computer's really being taxed, it will perform and 'illegal operation' and will lock the computer to any inputs. Unfortunately the only way to get rid of this is to press the power switch.

Chicky no observed impact, passes all spy, worm, trojan tests
James This file is just the taskbar icon for the mose...harmless
beware does tend to freeze periodically, uninstall if extra buttons not need
Jerry Dan is a killer when used with KVM-swich - iniciates unexpectedly all kind of programs present on a desktop and even starts TaskManager (noticed on WIN 2000) - bad, bad and snicky: every time you click a side-button - it wants to contact logitech.

Bradley While this is indeed a legitimate file from Logitech to control multi-media buttons on keyboard/extra buttons on mice, those with KVM switches would be better off disabling the process. From my research, it seems that if it cannot be in constant, direct contact with the device, it starts to fail. Those of you experiencing other problems may wish to remove it, and reinstall the newest version from logitech's web site.
Daniel M Without it, my back/forward buttons on my Logitech MX700 function only under Internet Explorer (not under windows explorer). It is required only for the full range of options when using a logitech device. It also only uses 428k of memory on my system (perfecly reasonable IMO).
wild Dan It seems, that a joke program called "MOVIN_MOUSE" uses this exec file to drive you crazy by shifting the mousepointer at random directions by random time intervals.  See also: Link

DJ Logitech software for variety of their HID's. Harmless unless your system doesn't meet minimum requirements, at which point your system will crash. Halting it causes your pointing device to halt as well. Name is the same for 16-bit and 32-bit, so watch it carefully during any updates to make sure you are getting the right one.

Dungman When i stopped the process EM EXCEC.EXE it did nothing less than made my computer little faster...and its definetly not a virus!
Hugo All hardware drivers should be event based device drivers, and not single executables. These active, polling programs unnecessarily use CPU time when not used and therefore clog up your system. Companies like Logitech or HP seem to have lost their minds by developing this kind of "drivers".

ib0b Please do yourself a favor by deleting this file from the %SystemRoot%\ProgramFiles\Logitech\MouseWare\system\ directory. I consider malware (programs that have no purpose but to cause a problem) dangerous. By the way, this was using between 3-4MB of RAM while doing nothing except occasionally freezing theee mouse pointer.

dusK Hugo is right, but it`s still just the driver, so it isn`t dangerous.

Occasionally causes erratic mouse problems, but I think it also is what tells me my cordless mouse battery state.
Garrett It's freekin Logitech software, it does no harm, and if you don't like it uninstall it. Don't be a dipshit and rate it harmful just because you have some superiority complex about how you think apps/drivers should run.
cheekyMonkey annoying thought, I don't use it. Unless you use all your extra mouse functionality (and you have a logitech), then kill it dead.
