Logitech File. Setup something to monitor traffic in and out of computer, along with what was causing the activity. This file, sent data about fifteen times within a 24hr period. All this, without using the camera at all, and not having it connected at all before the test.

The LVCOMSX.EXE doesnt communicate with any (keyboard) driver or trys to call home. I send a letter to logitech to explain the exact funktionality. It come with the logitech cam driver - i guess it com. between the bundle software and the driver .

After I downloaded the drivers for Logitech web cam, I noticed this program appearing in my background. I returned the camera, because it was not what I wanted but HOW do I remove this program?

This information definitely applies to the Logitech QuickCam driver version 8.3.0.1096 for the QuickCam Pro 4000 and may also apply to other versions. LVCOMSX.EXE is totally inessential, and certainly slows down boot times. I have removed it from my startup path and renamed it and the camera has continue to operate normally. I think that on some systems LVCOMSX.EXE actually does cause crashes and longer slowdowns. While it is not "dangerous" per se I would recommend removing it from startup and renaming it.

Not needed but has to be doing something if its there

Why would I need this, I dont use a cam, and I never bought one!
