What Is Backweb

Fox Pulls Back Web Video, Encourages Piracy

Why would Hulu’s owners push to make the service less attractive? The justification I’ve heard is that most Hulu viewers are paying for TV anyway, so this really wouldn’t be a big deal.

But the real answer is that this is meant to appease cable TV providers who are paying Hulu’s owners — via “retrans” deals — for the rights to provide the shows that Hulu is giving away on the Web. And it’s also meant to protect the value of broadcast TV advertising, since the ad business still doesn’t value a Web eyeball as much as one that watches on a TV.

Again, this is the kind of tension between business models that has been a problem for Hulu almost from the get-go. And it has been the source of many of the disagreements between Hulu CEO Jason Kilar and his owners for some time.

Q&A: What is a “Backweb Security Notice”? | Did you notice that......

The statement reads, “A new certificate has arrived for channel “Updates from HP”. It will be used to digitally sign the channel’s contents. Do you wish to accept the certificate?” “Yes” button or “No” button is being asked to choose from. The certificate itself reads, “This Certificate is published by Consumer PC Hewlett-Packard Cupertino, California, US as published under credentials issued by Secure Server Certificate Authority RSA Data Security, Inc. US. Expires: March 25, 2005″. What is this and what is this about? Should I trust this? Serious answers only please. It looks and sounds good but is it?

Answer by beer_farts The backweb.exe process waits in the background until it can make a successful internet connection. When it detects a connection it will attempt to download and install any updates that are available for your system. If this process causes problems for your system terminate the process.

backweb.exe is considered to be a security risk, not only because Adware Removal programs flag Activsurf as Adware, but also because there can be privacy issues associated with this product.

Activsurf is likely adware and as such, presents an unnecessary risk which should be eliminated! Removing backweb.exe may cause a number of problems, such as slow performance, loss of data or leaking private information.
