daan it is f-secure backweb agent
T Allen I can't get rid of it. I can rename it, but still can't delete it.
hobpernze Sie wurde mit der Logitech Webcam installiert, wird auch nach dem löschen wieder beim booten neu erzeugt und trägt das gleiche Datum wie die Logotech-Software
TeLa Part of F-Secure Anti-Virus program (used for virus def. updates)  See also: Link
DMA Sort of unecessary but harmless file. Only be concerned if you have no Logitech products installed.
Champ Kodak software updater...well on my system that is where i found it.
Arthur Same as Allen. This file showed up in my Temp folder and I can't do anything about it. I will look to see if I can uninstall thru logitech desktop manager.
You can delete in safe mode, however it will return apon reboot
4ml i know enough that i dont want it.
Qwerty It's a part of F-Secure Anti-Virus, too.  See also: Link
dan It infects your system. Renaming it doesn't get rid of it. You also can't edit it in wordpad either.
kjl Turn off Kodak software updater and the file can be deleted Thanks to Champ for the clue
Kay Kommt wohl vom Kodak Update - Programm
Installed with f-secure antivirus
j it is showing up as potentually dangerous so i dont know about it
Chrissy Only what I have learned here. I do have F-Prot and Logitech Keyboard Mouse and Web Camera
B-unit Same, can't delete it, don't have kodak software updater
Backweb. Changed it to TXT file and read it. Doesnt look too necessary but quite suspicious, although i do have a logitech g15 keyboard i suppose its used to log my temperary hotkey settings. Other than that i have no idea.
novice It's from the logitech keyboard/mouse and mostlikely harmless.
not much, all i know is if u cannot emtpy the TEMP folder at any time then it's mal-ware. The temp folder is for just that reason.

Jay f-secure antivirus associated---no worries!
Don Myers I did a Folder search and deleted the folder for F-Search. Then went to the temp folder and deleted it.
Alex It's from logitech devices
Spegmonster I agree with kjl -- turn off Kodak software updater and you can delete it.
Sabre Wolf Funny thing is I have a Logitec Headset on have the file... no keyboard or mouse, unless MICRO is made by that company... it was a Wally-World special
