"BACKWEB is Backweb, AKA Compaq Service Connection. This is a subject of
much debate. Backweb connects to a Compaq server when you login to the 'net,
and if there are updates for your system it will download those updates to
your computer. If there are no updates to download, then nothing will be
downloaded. The downside of this program is that it uses a significant
amount of resources.?
