Default Attn: All Comcast Users

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
