What is BackWeb and how to remove this spyware
BackWeb provides offline web infrastructure software that extends the reach of the web to the disconnected mobile community of sales forces, field service organizations, distributors and customers. Our products address the need mobile users have to access critical web content such as service repair guides, sales tools, pricing, work orders and other essential documents when they are working out of the office and disconnected from a network.
Backweb is a tool that software vendors incorporates into their product to download data (e.g. product updates) to the user's PC. Its operation depends on the instructions given to it by the individual software vendor who bundles it.
While this software has been neither exhonorated nor convicted of malice, some aspects of its installation and operation appear suspect.
