Purpose: EM_EXEC.EXE is a Logitech MouseWare Tray icon. In most cases you don't need this tray icon after you have adjusted your mouse settings, and they are still available in Control Panel | Mouse if you need them. We recommend that you stop this utility using MSConfig. Note: For some versions of the Logitech mouse, disabling EM_EXEC prevents the scroll wheel special mouse buttons from working. If this happens and you need that functionality, re-enable this program.

em_exec.exe uses excessive system and memory resources with no corresponding benefit. Applications such as these should be disabled to improve overall system performance.
