Thanks for any information you can provide.

Info

The BackWeb agent is the engine that controls the news and information updates for your subscribed channels (Active Desktop).

If you dont use it, or dont know how this program got onto your computer you can delete it as follows:

Go to the Start menu and select Settings -> Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs. Select Backweb and click ''Remove''.

If backwebagent is not shown in the list of add/remove programs you can try this to prevent it from startup:

Go to Start --> Run --> type ''msconfig'' in the box''

Select the tab ''Start-up'' and uncheck the mark at the program Backweb.

Restart your computer.

Although the program is still on the computer when you do this, at least it doesnt start when you boot your pc.

Compaq computer program

Backweb Agent is the engine for Compaq Service Connection, a program Compaq has included for software updates for your computer. When online connected to the 'net, it will look at Compaq's website and find the latest driver for your computer IF AN UPDATE HAS BEEN RELEASED. If there is not an update released to backweb, then nothing will be downloaded
