I was looking through my biggest threats on Security Task Manager, and I ended up finding IadHide (Its real name is IadHide5.dll). After learning what it is, I would like to get it off my computer. The only problem is that when I try to remove it, it comes back every time I reboot.

I think I may have gotten this through my Logitech software for my mouse, but I still want the software for the mouse.

While browsing to find a solution I have seen many ideas that were later found to not work, and others I don't even understand.


Is there a way to get rid of this annoying file without uninstalling my Logitech software, or having to buy buy new software to get rid of it? I would like a proven way to do it if possible.
Keep in mind that I already know what it is, I just want it removed.

"IAdHide.dll" belongs to BackWeb. It is installed with the software for e.g. Logitech products. It checks for software upgrades from Logitech.

It's present under Software => Logitech Desktop Manager, where it can be uninstalled.

The files backweb-8876480.exe, IAdHide3.dll and tempiadhide3.dll are also part of BackWeb.

Backweb, suggest they only monitor keyboard / mouse activity, so they know when the computer is inactive, they claim they don't record key strokes. (source)

Note: Any malware can be named anything - so you should check where the files of the running processes are located on your disk. If a "non-Microsoft" .exe file is located in the C:\Windows or C:\Windows\System32 folder, then there is a high risk for a virus, spyware, trojan or worm infection! Check it out! Use a program like CCleaner
