KBP.exe
I have this progam that windows uses and it accesses the
internet with a high degree of frequency. I can't delete it and I don't know where it came from. When I run "msconfig" I see it checked. I "uncheck" it and restart the computer only to find it checked again. Does anyone know what KPB.exe is or where it came from and how to delete it? Any help would be greatly appreciated. |

KBP.exe
Hi Michael,
I would suggest you start by doing a virus scan with up to date virus software, then scan for and removing any installed spyware. If you are in need of virus software, here are a couple to choose from, for free. Download the software, and in Update Manager run Update then do a complete virus scan. Free Offer: eTrust EZ Armor Security Suite from Computer Associates http://www.my-etrust.com/microsoft/index.cfm Search and destroy any installed SpyWare/malware/adwa Ad-aware is a free multi spyware removal utility that scans your memory, registry and hard drives for known spyware components and lets you remove them safely. After installing Ad-Aware make sure to run the update feature before scanning. http://www.lavasoftusa.com/ For large amounts of installed spyware and such, it may be necessary to run Ad-Aware several times to clear them all. Here are a couple more removal tools.

SpywareBlaster is a non memory resident utility. It works by setting a "kill bit" for the CLSIDs of spyware ActiveX controls, it prevents the installation of any of them from a webpage.
