I am getting the following detection box coming up on my pc, APPL/KillApplicat.A, and I also got a KillIt.exe, and a KillWind.exe. I did some research and found that it was not a virus or trojan but something to do with an HP update for my pc. However, it is very annoying and I want to make sure that the research I did was accurate. I would just like reassurance from you that it's harmless. I am seriously considering uninstalling the Antivir Program, and would like some advise on a recommendation for a possible better anti virus program. Thank you.
