Having recently done a complete re-install of XP on my neighbour's lap top, it seems that I am now the (nearly) on-site IT consultant.
He called me yesterday to report that the laptop had shut itself down on a couple of occasions and he suspected the fan wasn't working. As it happens there was nothing wrong in that department as after
twenty five minutes of head scratching, he volunteered the information that he had been using the machine actually on his lap (there's a novelty) and wondered if the ventilation grille had been blocked thus causing it to overheat. As it showed no signs of shutting itself down whilst on the table, I thought that was a sensible conclusion.
Before we got to that stage, I ran msconfig to see what programs were selected on start up. At the bottom of the list was something called 'kgkadi' and shown as 'kgkadi.exe' in the associated entry.
I've done a number of searches and can't find any reference to this program and I'm wondering if it is a malign influence. My neighbour is something of a tinkerer and I suspect I haven't been told everything.
I've disabled it as a start up program but I really have no idea what it is.
Anyone care to have a go at what it might be?

PS I'm tempted to employ the principle of 'working well, leave it alone', but I'm concerned that it might be a 'nasty' of some description.
