rate4 It's a background file that operates when your screensaver goes on. It sends information about the user to third party servers. Dunno if it's harmfull, but IF you want to keep your privacy better disable it.   Martijn
rate5 This lvcomsx.exe is known as spyware or also called a parasite. While your PC is idle (aka: screen saver kicks on), lvcomsx.exe gathers personal information from your computer and sends it via network to Logitech and a few others that are partners with backweb services. Backweb services (a group that collects your personal information and sells it to many partners). Partners can be any company that pays money for backweb code to be installed with programs and drivers like all of the Logitech products.   kevin kratsch (descrption from start up inspector)

rate3 Bothers me to have something running and using resources with out knowing it's full purpose.   Mike
rate3 It is a highly irritating file. There is no real need for this file. It is safe to delete and will not affect your webcam.   Carlos
rate3 Adds functionality for bundled Logitech cam software. If you only use your for, e.g. MSN, you don't need it. It seems to get installed even if you just install the driver, or doesn't get removed if you remove the bundled software. Most annoying, it causes a 'Default Beep' at shutdown. Just disable it using a startup utility.   Tom

rate1 If you install a QUICKCAM 5000 with it's application and then drop the software to keep only the driver, you're camera will work without problems, but an error msg will pop on startup saying that lvcom can't start. I'm looking for some way to stop that msg.   RaRgY

rate5 All it is a gay piece of shit that runs in your back ground... put it this way, at start up, anything that starts up under your username doesnt need to run to keep you computer running, so turn the piece of shit off...   suicide_rune
rate4 Eversince I installed this, my PC has issues.   c20h25n3o
rate3 this is a Logitech Camera File which installs automatically in System Configuration Programme while installing the Software for Logitech WebCam its not harmfull but it just slowes up the speed of the computer   Mehar Jasminder Singh
rate1 Why would I need this, I dont use a cam, and I never bought one!   Stemnin
rate3 I'll get rid anyway ...  
rate4 Not needed but has to be doing something if its there   Lawrence
rate3 This information definitely applies to the Logitech QuickCam driver version 8.3.0.1096 for the QuickCam Pro 4000 and may also apply to other versions. LVCOMSX.EXE is totally inessential, and certainly slows down boot times. I have removed it from my startup path and renamed it and the camera has continue to operate normally. I think that on some systems LVCOMSX.EXE actually does cause crashes and longer slowdowns. While it is not "dangerous" per se I would recommend removing it from startup and renaming it.   CamTester
rate2 Allows for advanced Logitech camera features (mostly important for newer cameras.)   Alvaro
rate0 Communication_  
rate3 Also installs with Labtec webcams.  
rate1 Yes this is the part of logitech quik cam!   Norman
rate0 After I downloaded the drivers for Logitech web cam, I noticed this program appearing in my background. I returned the camera, because it was not what I wanted but HOW do I remove this program?   Ljubica
rate1 I removed it, and everything still works fine.   orhan
rate1 Logo Tech Quick Cam   Dominik
rate0 It also crashes whenever I enable the bluetooth funtion of my notebook. I also use logitech webcam. I just removed it.   Ken
rate1 Logiteck Quickcam - never had any problems with it - WinXPPro SP2   Dan
rate3 The LVCOMSX.EXE doesnt communicate with any (keyboard) driver or trys to call home. I send a letter to logitech to explain the exact funktionality. It come with the logitech cam driver - i guess it com. between the bundle software and the driver .   a_guy
rate5 Logitech File. Setup something to monitor traffic in and out of computer, along with what was causing the activity. This file, sent data about fifteen times within a 24hr period. All this, without using the camera at all, and not having it connected at all before the test.   Free Willy
rate1 It was installed with my QuickCam IM 1 yr ago. No problems.   DavidX

rate5 This file automatically signs you up to pornographic websites, pretending to be related to Logitec QuickCam   Dan's WinXP Security Database
rate0 I noticed that when I clicked OFF the the 'lvcomsx' in 'msconfig', under 'STARTUP' , and ended its task process, in 'TASK MANAGER', my pc regained its processing speed with a restart!!   Bishop
rate0 A nuisance. Prevents computer from shutting down and restarting.   Paul
rate1 it is harmless delete it if you want best to remove from registry to stop for good. It is a quickcam update file. it is just checking if you webcam is active or not. I have seen not evidence that is is send info while in screen saver mode.   BlemishTheCat
rate3 its just an anoying driver for the logitech quick cam   The Funk
rate3 It installed itself with the drivers for my keyboard/mouse combination from logitech (easycall desktop).   beetFreeQ
rate1 Not needed unless you use a net cam. Safe to remove.   Black Angel
rate3 Logitech camera Orbit with QuickCam software 8.4.8   Uncle Kirby
rate0 driver camera logitech  
rate3 it is part of the logitech camera software - it is unnecessary, but simply removing it from MS config does not keep it from running. It gets loaded through svchost.exe unless you rename it.   Gordon James
rate3 Faulty, many issues and or problems   buba franks
rate1 From Labtech webcam driver, very annoying cos when I shut the computer down, it makes a "error" sound, I have now deinstalled the stupid thing.   ET
rate1 To disable permanently: Start - Run - regedit- navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run. Then Delete the LVCOMSX entry and close the Reg Editor.   Gambino
rate4 Very suspect! My PC has nothing running at startup except firewall. Today while browsing "My Computer", I accidentally clicked "My Logitech Pictures" before continuing to browse where I'd intended. Some time later (maybe 1/2 hour?), my firewall popped up a message to say that Firefox was trying to access the Internet! A quick check of processes revealed "lvcomsx" still running, attempting to send who-knows-what to the Internet! This even though my Logitech cam is not even connected!   Eon
rate3 if switched off, camera controll field settings are greyed out/don't work, evth. else still works   burn
rate5 Backdoor.   Dave
rate1 "It provides extra functionality for Logitech multimedia webcam devices. It is non-essential to the running of the system."   Tyler Morrison
rate1 It comes bundles with the logiteck QuickCam driver.   Edge
