lsburnwatcher created a large lsburnwater.log on my computer last night. After clearing the computer of temp files with CCleaner, the log file grew to over 32 megabytes in less than 6 hours. This seems excessive considering I wasn't burning anything. I'm going to look for an update to the software, or will turn off the service completely.

Harmless. Helps you use the Light Scribe Program. I never use mine, so I don't need it.

The LS stands for Light Scribe, which is a program that lets you put graphics and labels onto your burned cds. this program basically "watches for when you burn cd's and then asks you if you want to customize and create a label for the cd.
