Also used for other secure file sharing services like 4OD, removing the pprgram does not remove the Kontiki elements, Kservice.exe being one of them.

it is a p2p program used by sky, 4od, and BBCiplayer, however, it is troublesome to remove, to say the least, and it continues to use your bandwidth even after you close the program.
