Process produced a non-interactive window on XP desktop. Attempt to remove/delete files triggered KBDCLASS and KBDHID insertions in system32 folder and registry entries, rendering hardware keyboard useless. Onscreen keyboard (and mouse) remained usable throughout. Used 'Move on Boot' to remove key .EXE file, searched registry manually for every instance of KBDCLASS (Upper Filter) and corrected entries. Installed copies of KBDCLASS.SYS and KBDHID.SYS files from another PC to successfully restore my system.
Been there. Done that.

This file is part of the stuff comcast sends out. It is supposed to block keyloggers from being able to grab your passwords.
