Yes, it's Logitech's file, in C:\Progr... folder. But: why do it want to listen to the Net? I stopped this behavior through the (Comodo) Firewall. In my opinion, mouse driver must drive a mouse, not send data about me to Logitech (and who else yet...?).

It anticipates my cursor placement where obvious as in checking an okay button.
  Eh Yeahbut  
Fights with Malwarebytes security software, causes computer to freeze up. Mouse & keyboard work without it, you jut lose fancy features.

It's harmless - download the installer file from Logitech and reinstall it. Game over.
