cant seem to remove, causes system instability and hanging

Very difficult to remove. Attaches its self to EXPLORE.EXE. Deleted by starting command window, terminating explore.exe, then manually deleting with command line.
Chris Cole

(Additional) It seems to have been blocking installation of anti-virus software. Specifically, SOPHOS Anti-Virus would terminate prior to installation. After removal thi has properly installed and run.

if this is the thing that's screwing my system, it takes over the IE browser, launches random popups when IE is open, and replaces search engine results with its own ads. seems to only affect IE though, so get Mozilla (Firefox :D).

I've found that KillBox works rather well at killing this file.

Very tenacious popup generator.

Nothing removes it so far - spybot, hijackthis, etc. Stops Norton from installing. Going to try Killbox now.

deleted the folder and then killed it with advanced uninstall

The prog ghost-installed via a pop-up. NAVC did not detect it as a malicious script. I can confirm it hi-jacks IE, and generates pop-ups. Ending the EXPLORER.EXE process and terminating the Tvm.exe file via command prompt worked, but there two .DLLs remain. Working on removal methods for them now.
Michael Ramsay

To remove the reamining .DLLs, simply reboot your system after deleting the .EXE and delete them.
