I am surprised it didn't get rid of it for you. Somewhere in spy bot there is a details button and it tells you about the things that it lists but that are not a serious threat. Back web is one of these. Sometimes HP packages have back web installed as part of it's tracking system so Tech support knows what you have on your machine, but that was in the older systems with 98 on them. I don't know if you had that type of a problem. On one of my Hp pavilion computers I had it was long out of warrantee and I wanted to get rid of it but in order to do that I had to go on the list of threats and check it because even though it was there, it wasn't checked because it was not considered serious. Maybe you already know this. Another thing you could do is see if it is running in the startup tab in msconfig. I don't know what operating system you are running though and this will make a difference.

I ran spybot, and it said it found one threat called back web lite. There was a slash then it also said auto run settings. Spybot won't remove it. Does anyone know what this back web thing is? Also when I rebooted my computer earlier I got some sort of error message that said invalid back web.
