Instead of trying to post an inline image, reduce the size to 100k or less and upload it here as an attachment or host it on a provider that allows external linking and provide a link.

Found at another site:

Backweb is an application commonly included in major OEM installations as
part of their support. It is not a part of WinXP and can safely be disabled.
Start/run msconfig and look on the startup tab for a reference to it that
you can uncheck.
Good luck!

Backweb is commonly installed with Logitech and HP software. Spybot and Ad-Aware will remove it but you have something in your startup which depends on it. It's relatively benign as spyware goes, but it's spyware nevertheless.

Your startup is not going to say BACKWEB - there's a dependency, there is something in the startup that is dependent on Backweb. Prime suspects are Logitech mouse and keyboard drivers and HP printer monitors.
