Overview
KMP Connect Program is a software program developed by Pandora.TV. It adds registry entry for the current user which will allow the program to automatically start each time it is rebooted. Upon being installed, the software adds a Windows Service which is designed to run continuously in the background. Manually stopping the service has been seen to cause the program to stop functing properly. It adds a background controller service that is set to automatically run. Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. The software is designed to connect to the Internet and adds a Windows Firewall exception in order to do so without being interfered with. The primary executable is named kair_view.exe. The setup package generally installs about 12 files and is usually about 33.58 MB (35,212,899 bytes). Relative to the overall usage of users who have this installed on their PCs, most are running Windows 10 and Windows 7 (SP1). While about 19% of users of KMP Connect Program come from the United States, it is also popular in Iran and Saudi Arabia.
