from keith how to remove back up lite

This works: your spy ware catches back up lite. To remove without issues of any kind, allow the spyware like bot to keep it. Then go to windows explorer and find HP updates and right click it and delete (I use BC Wipe), then remove Back up lite icon with right click. Restart-run spybot and presto, its gone. Not complicated and it is fool proof. Pass it on.

Thanks Keith.I don't have access to HP's version of Backweb so I can't confirm this information. could somebody else please confirm this.I have checked BC Wipe which is an excellent freeware product. made by Jetico, Inc.they have many excellent Freeware security related products.especially their firewall.but they may be to advanced for most users


Questions from moonbeam87

how would I just check for it without removing it?

Reply from Devilin

There are plenty of ways of finding out whether blackweb is on your system, probably the easiest is to use Spysweeper as its can identify files without you having to destroy them, just make sure all of the boxes remain un ticked,

Affiliate link / unfortunately the free anti-spyware programs won't deal with backweb, this link will take you to webroot spysweepers page, where you can download a free fully working trial, which should deal with backweb

Always try uninstalling the backweb program itself first

My computer / add remove / click on backweb, then click remove,

If anybody knows of any free anti-spyware programs that deal with backweb please inform me, as spybot and adaware and such, don't deal with it, I've contacted the nice people at spybot, there currently reviewing backweb ,

 

Sptbot used by itself will not remove all of the back web elements for full details see

 

I'd also suggest using a good firewall, which will determine which programs have access to the net, and what part of the web has access to your computer


Questions from gerry

I use Spyhunter antispam software which tells me I have backweb lite showing 122 times in various formats as spam on my computer. Also: 1. When I start up I get an "invalid backweb application id 7288971" message - I just close this down. 2. "Micorsoft" often opens up when I'm browsing. 3. I get random Proclaim Telecom Inc message pop ups, followed immediately by a "hot adult download" pop up - not ideal with two young teenage kids. I've looked via google advanced at how to get rid of this stuff but it's either too complicated or leaves me unsure of what action to take - I'd be nervous of making registry changes without backup. I have Pccillin antivirus/firewall software and this uses backweb in some form of other, so worried about removing the wrong thing. My PC is prone to random close down. Can anyone help or is my computer due a complete clean out via reinstallation of windows (I'm on Windows Me)?

Reply from Devilin

Windows Me, is prone to random, shut downs, because its not the most stable operating system

using, spywareblaster, should sort out your popup windows problem,and it's freeware / donationware

Now using Pc-cillin, in my experience can lead to random and unexpected errors in itself, the program itself does tie up significant resources, and it can become over enthusiastic to say the least, you can be assured your virus free though, it is a good virus killer

Unfortunately you have a combination, that doesn't suit, ME, not exactly stable, PC-cillin, heavy on resources, and the same can be said for backweb, the easiest solution is to change your anti virus program, and clean backweb of your system,


Questions from Zack

I deleted Backweb files on my computer. Now, I get erroe messages when I start the computer. Is there some place I can download or reinstall Backweb?

Reply from Devilin

You could possibly try here, but what version, i.e. what program installed backward, you'll have to determine yourself

The error message can be stopped, by stopping the backweb fragment from starting with windows

Use caution, and only disable, not delete programs from starting


Questions from Wayne

FYI - My father recently purchased a Media Center PC from HP. It came with Backweb Lite installed. Yesterday I went about removing backweb from his system. After removal, it warned me about a backweb application having problems. Come to find out, HP has a program called HP Update (or soemthing to that effect) that runs on bootup that uses Backweb Lite. The HP Update program no longer boots up and no more backweb either. Why would HP stoop to such practices?

Reply from Devilin

Probably seemed like a good idea at the time ?, although there still shipping computers with backweb installed, why don't you contact them, and ask, and tell me how you get on, I'd love to see their reply


Questions from john

hello. perhaps you can help me. i have had spybot for several months now and it has worked well. each time i did a scan, i noticed about 80 backweb lite files. as your other readers indicated, spybot never checked the boxes, and i always left them unchecked. i oftentimes receive unsolicited messages and ads from HP, so i decided to check the backweb boxes when i did my search and destroy this morning. immediately after "fixing problems" i started receiveing this message: Could not load the target dll (C:\Program Files\Backweb Client\6.2.3 66\Program\frcom.dll, error code 126). i went back into spybot and recovered all of the backweb lite files, but i continue to receive this message every 5 minutes or so. how can i fix this?

Reply from Devilin

The error message can be stopped, by stopping the backweb fragment from starting with windows, you could use this free program to stop the fragment


Questions from Candance

Bought this compaq last fall and it came with backweb on it. Spybot found it. I use a dial up modem and don't need anything messing with my connection. I find no mention of the program under add/remove programs. I have disabled it via the task manager but I would like to remove it from my system. Any suggestions ??

Questions from pullinghairout

i recently found out that we had a trojan horse virus on our computer...when i got that cleared up i downloaded spybot and found tons of this backweb lite stuff...i started to remove some of it completely but stopped thinking it might be important...now i can't play my flash games on gsn.com nor can i install some of my video games...what is going on...how can i fix this mess...this computer is only a few weeks old!!!

Reply from Devilin

Spybot has an undue option, sounds like you've killed a flash component, flash and Backweb aren't related in any way whatsoever, you could happily uninstall Backweb all day and this shouldn't affect flash itself in anyway whatsoever, so it leads me to believe, you may have installed a flash plug in, which Spybot might consider spyware, and you've then deleted the plug in, affecting the flash main program, possible solution, re install flash, link below, as for why this would affect your ability to install video games, I'm uncertain, so I'll refer you to the capable hands of the Spybot form, you're get a much faster response to your question, from them
