Default What is tgcmd.exe?


I keep getting notices that this program is trying to access the internet.
It goes something like Files/support/client.bin.tgcmd.exe. Could someone
tell me if this is non threatening and I can permit it, say Microsoft
updates, or if its something evil?
The program address isn't 100% accurate, it's what i remember of it, but the
exe portion is.

From the webpage:

"TGCMD.EXE is spyware originally created by Tioga/Support.com. If you're an
@Home subscriber, this was probably installed with your Comcast @home
software. If you own a Sony Vaio system, it was probably factory installed
along with the Sony Support software."
