I'm running git under Win7 64. As I selected "Repository|Visualize all branch history" in the git gui, my AV software (Trustport) trapped the bin\kill.exe program for "trying to modify system global settings (time, timezone, registry quota, etc.)"

Does anyone know the details of this process and what it's function is? First time I've seen it, though I'm a relatively new user.

Cheers, e.
