SpotifyWebHelper.exe comes with Spotify and is a legitimate file. SpotifyWebHelper's purpose is to allow users to open up and play Spotify's music directly from the web. SpotifyWebHelper.exe runs in the background even though Spotify is not running.

If you want to disable this background process, you can do so from Spotify's settings:

Start Spotify - Edit - Preferences .. - Uncheck "Allow Spotify to be started from the web".
