Does any one know what TVTMD.exe does? There is no clue in the properties
list, which means it is probably not a Microsoft executable. Somehow this
seems to have made it's way into my startup and I think is causing strange
popup ads for some Tune Up product.

If you recently installed Grokster.....this little goodie may have slipped
right by you.
Something called "Memory Meter" often comes in this bundle, too.

download 'Hijack This!'. http://www.tomcoyote.org/hjt/
Unzip, doubleclick HijackThis.exe, and hit "Scan".

When the scan is finished, the "Scan" button will change into a "Save Log"
button.
Press that, save the log, load it in Notepad.
.....come on over to http://www.spywareinfo.com/forums/

Sign in, or post as a guest if you wish,.... go to the Spyware and
Hijackware Removal section, press "new topic", explain your problem, and
copy and paste the contents of the Hijack This log into your new message. --
....and we'll nail it.

Once you've done that, block further hijacks with HOSTS.
