I installed an Agama webcam, software that came with it, included Button Manager, which appears as BM.exe

BM.exe is showing up in my Windows 7 system as a process open on all users, hogging all available CPU. Adverse processing effects especially noted within Internet Explorer--heavy lag, freezes and "Not Responding" messages. Killing all running BM.exe processes in the task manager showed an immediate benefit. Had a Notepad file named "BMSetup.log" on C:\ with 10 lines of info typed in, attributing the program to HP. Did not note anything particularly dangerous about the program, only great aggravation from its total use of CPU resources.
