Good Morning
I just ran SpyBot and it picked up dozens of registry entries for BackWeb (Lite).
I use FrontPage and use the Personal Web Server
Are these entries in any way related?
Should I go ahead and heed the AdWare/SpyWare alerts and get rid of them?
I have enclosed a text file with the BackWeb entries
They have the following product information:
=============================
Company: http://www.backweb.com/
Product: BackWeb lite
Threat: Adware/Spyware
Company URL: http://www.backweb.com/
Company product URL: http://www.backweb.com/products/html/backweb_eaccelerator.html
Company privacy URL: http://www.cameocast.com/legal/privacypolicy.asp
Functionality
Installs unknown items & advertisement popups on your system.
Description
Comes with Western Digital Data Lifeline as well as with HP & Compaq systems. If you intended to install the normal BackWeb, please add BackWeb to your exclude list. But if you know nothing about installing BackWeb, chances are good that it is the 'lite' version. This one connects to a Cameocast server (Source: http://www.cexx.org/dlgli.htm), and you can read Cameo's privavy statement above.
Privacy Statement
BackWeb: Stay in the loop With BackWeb's reporting capabilities, you'll know who received each delivery, when they received it, and how they interacted with it.

=============================
Any light shed on this topic would be greatly appreciated
Many thanks

(another question within SpyBot ... picked up entry "Alexa Related: What's related link (Replace file) RELATED.HTM"
... no "More Info" and I don't know what it is. Any ideas?)
