| chris | as long as it is the HP/KBD.EXE then its the software to run function buttons on keyboard such as media buttons and internet buttons |

 HP representitive | this app is required for special features on some wirless keybaords. it does not install 1000 spywares, should be located in C:/hp/KBD/KBD.exe on HP machines. |
| Michael Gadaleta | Pops up whener I open up one of my media players like windows media and winamp. |
| good with computers. | this file comes with the computer when you buy it, it is not a spyware or anything. it is used on major programs. |
| brad | located in the same place as the hp representive gave, not dangerous, takes up only 4meg of my ram, and dosent use hardly an processing time |
| Zell | It's a Hewlett Packard keyboard handler. |
| James Cox | My computer uses it to watch for Multimedia Keys on my HP keyboard such as Email and Volume. Programs like this only use alot of memory when something else causes an Unknown Fatal Error that blocks the program from responding. Does not install spyware, does not interfere with SP2, but some other PS2 and USB devices not from HP may interfere. If you get an new keyboard, you MUST remove this program prior to installation. |
| Scooter | Existed on every HPs I bought and have had no problems from it. |
| Keith | Can cause slowness; Optional; Can be disabled. See also: Link |

| Khalid | This is a Key board process and is mainly runs when you have a wired keyboard.....some times gives a error if you have a wireless keyboard....kbd.exe encountered a error.....do a MSconfig and it shud resolve the error. |
| Mike | KBD.EXE is generating an error message on start up that it had trouble and had to be shut down. Have no idea what is causing this and it is located in my windows/prefetch folder on an HP computer |
| Eric | Creates error msg on start-up. Can I delete kbd.exe just by using Add and Delete Programs? |
| Eric | The page at the link show how to get rid of this app., but why not just use "Add and Delete Programs" -- wouldn't that work? See also: Link |
 Juan | it gives me an N.R.B. whenever it starts up |
| Pettter | Installs over a million spywares |
| Eric | Why isn't my message showing up, it's been more than a week! |
| M5 | Its only an application for driving multimedia keys on wireless keyboards supplied with HP Pavilion computers, & it simply closes after encountering an error. |
| mike | Ever since my computer shut down due to blackouts, a Microsoft error dialog box keeps appearing, every time i start the computer, how do i remove this "error" message? :) |
| Joel Burchell | It is nothing dangerous, if KBD.exe is givig u malware/spyware/viruses then its not the real KBD process, it is merely a virus/malware/spyware that was designed to overwrite the existing KBD.exe process.Comeing from a first hand view (im an ex-hacker) this is quite easy but brillant all the same. Your computers boot configuration doesnt check for the verification of KBD.exe it just boots a program in a certian location with a certian name (much like a shortcut). If you are not useing a keyboard with special features, it would be best to remove the program or find a program to allocate RAM useage |
| Headshot | there is a fake version entitled under the same name that is known by some to install spyware...but it is standard as a Keyboard process that can be removed by accessing your drive under "YOURDRIVE:\HP\KBD" and deleting "kbd.exe", then open regedit and go to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run" and accessing the right menu, you can delete "KBD.exe" and restart your comp to stop it from running. I believe it is uneeded and crunches your CPU, now I know why my levels were at 100 often and before ihad ZoneAlwarm Security Suite runing it was hrd to prtct agnst threats |
| HOSISCOOL! | I had this on my computer, it crashed on startup, not knowing how to disable it I just deleted it See also: Link |
| Jim (no affiliation with H-P) | As said before, this is standard H-P keyboard special key interface program. It does not install spywares. H-P has issued an updated KBD.EXE which you can download from their site if you have an older H-P system. Go to H-P, click on "Software & Driver Downloads" then enter KBD.EXE in the search box and go from there. See also: Link |

| Alex Rods | If you want to fix it... choose your kind of keyboard here... See also: Link |
