It is located in a folder named "backweb" Note: backWeb.exe is a process associated with an application from Backweb Technologies. It comes bundled together with a large number of desktops and is used to detect and download available updates. So i think it's just for downloading updates.  See also: Link   Echtzeit0815 is a program for Charter High speed security suite   Its part of fsecure   look like F-secure backwep firewall/virus program   marko F-Secure Anti-Virus Updater   for updating of F-Secure Antivirus   Ian I found fspex in my Charter Communications securety suite.

If you have F-Secure installed on your computer, this isn't dangerous. Charter also comes with F-Secure so if you get your internet from Charter this is also harmless. Otherwise this is a very dangerous application in disguise!   Kyle If you know more about fspex.exe, share your knowledge and help other users.
