setpoint is the hotkey customization s/w that logitech uses to set keys and adjust settings for their specific mice and keyboards. it works in conjunction with khalmnpr.exe to determine which keybd/mse set you have and what specific buttons can be customized,

Causes my left arrow key to get stuck, too. Bug, not security issue.

It has only happened twice in a few months, but the 4 key on the number pad sometimes gets stuck. I even unplug the existing keyboard and the key is seen by the OS as depressed. Ending this process caused the issue to dissappear immediately.

Had the setpoint.exe error on start-up. Uninstalled logitec setpoint using control panel and it fixed the problem.

It gives me a "Program not responding" everytime I try to shut down my computer, so I have to press "execute program" thru alt+ctrl+del everytime befor I shut down my computer.
   

it's only a driver for cordless logitech keyboards and it search for updates, no risk if you buy your logitech desktop by legal way ;)
