    Are these Device Manager entries needed?


    Looking to clean up my computer to make it more reliable. Went through the running processes and I see nothing terribly suspicious. When looking at the Device Manager, I see a Jungo Connectivity->WinDriver that dates from 2014. Is this still needed?

    I use a Logitech K350 wireless keyboard/mouse combo. In Device Manager /Keyboards , I see both HID Keyboard Device and Logitech HID-compliant Unifying Keyboard. (Same two appear under Mice and pointing devices.) Are both needed?

    from what i can find its a driver updater... not a fan
    more concerning is that its Israeli based program and more likely to be targeted
    if it was on my system i'd remove it

    torchwood - Thanks for the prompt reply. Are you saying that both items are updates or only one of them? Please clarify.

    Thanks. I disabled Jungo and am trying to learn more about Logitech.

    FWIW it has been my experience that if you use Device Mgr to Uninstall (not just Disable) a driver it will reinstall itself if it is actually needed by any internal hardware.

    I would uninstall that Jungo thing and leave the Logitech devices alone. I have Logitech wireless kb and mouse and have similar what-appear-to-be-duplicate drivers in there as you have.
