Consistently messes with my keyboard (causing it to do odd things) and mouse. Only hinders my computers effectiveness.

Most of it is in C:\Program Files\Logitech\Setpoint, other sites said that the location may determine how dangerous it is.

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.
