| The original SetPoint.exe (along with KHALMNPR.exe) is the program file for the Logitech Keyboard and Mouse application, which enables you to set the dpi rate for your mouse or to remap your mouse buttons. Normally if you exit the application on the system tray, these 2 exe will disappear from the Task Manager as well. Although if it's in the System32 folder, it's dangerous and should be checked immediately. IC_Draconis | |

| It has only happened twice in a few months, but the 4 key on the number pad sometimes gets stuck. I even unplug the existing keyboard and the key is seen by the OS as depressed. Ending this process caused the issue to dissappear immediately. killswitch | |

| Fights with Malwarebytes security software, causes computer to freeze up. Mouse & keyboard work without it, you jut lose fancy features. mennikatz | |

| Yes, it's Logitech's file, in C:\Progr... folder. But: why do it want to listen to the Net? I stopped this behavior through the (Comodo) Firewall. In my opinion, mouse driver must drive a mouse, not send data about me to Logitech (and who else yet...?). Lajos | |
| @mennikatz - i have been getting the BSOD periodically. I run Malwarebytes so i decided to uninstall setpoint.exe. i will update this if the BSOD stops signcarver | |
| Found this process connecting to a company called Search Guide inc. If Logitech can't use it's own servers to communicate with it's own processes then something is shady and its a liability to have on my PC, i didnt give them permission to send my info to a third party. | |
| Unless it's a virus replicating the program, Setpoint is Logitech's normal software that a user has installed on his or her computer. C | |

| If it's the correct Logitech driver, it's not only not dangerous, but it is usually necessary. I'm more interested in knowing whether it needs to be in the Startup queue. Don't really need mouse or keyboard until after boot is complete. Any thoughts? Jim | |
| I only allow it to access in my system NOT to the internet. Lane | |
