KBD EXE Has stopped working...?

This message comes up on my computer when I am starting up. After all the usual stuff has loaded. It doesn't seem to alter the way the computer runs at all but 'Windows Defender keeps switching its self off.

Are the two things connected?

Can anyone shed any light on this for me?

Thanks in advance

    Some malware camouflage themselves as kbd.exe, particularly if they are located in c:\windows or c:\windows\system32 folder. Thus check the kbd.exe process on your pc whether it is pest. Recommend Security Task Manager for verifying your computer's security.

    I have the same problem too! I thought I was the only one. I'm not too sure about the problem, but KBD.EXE has something to do with the sound, because I looked for the file, deleted it and my computer wasn't able to play sounds until I reformed it.
