It was nice of Logitech to use a long, descriptive name for this process -- unfortunately, that name is deceiving. Logitech Desktop Messenger sounds like an instant messaging program, but it is in fact a background task that checks for updates to Logitech software products, and also ""informs"" you (read: advertises to you) about new Logitech products.http://www.neuber.com/taskmanager/process/logitechdesktopmessenger.exe.html 

If you want a detailed security rating about your LogitechDesktopMessenger.exe (and all other running background processes) read the following user opinions, and download the free trial version of Security Task Manager.

Note: Any malware can be named anything - so you should check where the files of the running processes are located on your disk. If a "non-Microsoft" .exe file is located in the C:\Windows or C:\Windows\System32 folder, then there is a high risk for a virus, spyware, trojan or worm infection! Check it out!
