TpKmpSVC.exe is a background process that is used to implement the keyboard mapping functions on Lenovo (formerly IBM) Thinkpad computers. It is installed by default and can be disabled if you are not using the function; this is best done within the Thinkpad's control software rather than just terminating the process. 

If you want a detailed security rating about your TpKmpSVC.exe (and all other running background processes) read the following user opinions, and download the free trial version of Security Task Manager.

Note: Any malware can be named anything - so you should check where the files of the running processes are located on your disk. If a "non-Microsoft" .exe file is located in the C:\Windows or C:\Windows\System32 folder, then there is a high risk for a virus, spyware, trojan or worm infection! Check it out!
