External information from Paul Collins:

  • "LogitechGalleryRepair" can run at start up. LogitechGalleryRepair/LogitechVideoRepair - part of Logitech Image Studio - installed with Logitech QuickCam cameras. Required from version 8.11 onwards if you use the software to take pictures and capture videos, not if you don't. Also not required for versions up to and including 7.30 and after version 8.30 - hence the "U" rather than "Y" recommendation

Important: Some malware camouflages itself as ISStart.exe, particularly when located in the c:\windows or c:\windows\system32 folder. Therefore, you should check the ISStart.exe process on your PC to see if it is a threat. We recommend Security Task Manager for verifying your computer's security.

Internet Information services. Runs on startup so you can host your own webserver on a PC that has a static IP. Other uses.

Not Much on start up menu
   
Addition to previous comment: I was no longer able to change the webcam's settings *in QuickCapture*. I had access to all the normal audio and video settings through all other programs

This info applies to Logitech QuickCam driver version 8.3.0.1096 for the QuickCam Pro 4000. As Josef S says, ISStart.exe is loaded on startup under the name LogitechVideoRepair. I have run the Logitech QuickCam software, including capturing images and video using QuickCapture successfully with ISStart.exe at least not loaded on startup. The only anomaly that I noticed was that I was no longer able to change the webcam's settings.
