KillWind.exe is a utility program that HP includes in their software packages. It is part of their BackWeb software. Software that allows their tech's to call into your machine when you have a problem and try to fix it (under warranty). The KillWind.exe file is a program they may use that "kills" or terminates any running or background process. So it is just a HP software utility. McAfee is now calling it an undesirable program because the worm stopper feature if the McAfee is identifying it as a worm. To resolve this issue you need to disable the worm stopper of the VirusScan. Right click on the M icon from the system tray then click on VirusScan then click on options. Click on Advanced button. Click on the WormStopper Tab. Uncheck the option enable the WormStopper. Click on Ok to close the McAfee windows. Then your issue will be resolved.
