This is a Heads UP!
I recently updated ZoneAlarm (personal version) and took up their offer to use "Pro" free for 15 days. Today, I got a notice that tgshell.exe was trying to access the internet and it had changed since the last time it ran. ZA's More Inf didn't tell me what I needed, so I went to Google. www.answersthatwork.com suggests where/how you may have gotten a program in question and provides detailed removal instructions. It turns out tgshell.exe is basically spyware guised as "Comcast Support" (the website also explains why it could be useful for Comcast's real "support"... something I've had no indication to date that they even provide). According to the website, tgshell.exe eats up CPU, drives the hard disk hard, causes boot-up Kernel32 errors, generates illegal operations, invalid page faults, and much more. So, you be the judge - If you don't mind dealing with all of those computer problems and you don't care if Comcast records where you've been and what you're doing, keep it. If you don't want to keep tgshell.exe, follow the instructions here http://www.answersthatwork.com/Taskl...tasklist_t.htm sf Practice safe eating - always use condiments |
