I admit even though I knew Television Fanatic was garbage, I installed it, and found out I was right. There are some files that do not get uninstalled. I use several spyware scanners, and Zone Alarm picked up 3 Trojans. Spybot will not get rid of it, Zone Alarm will quarantine the files, but I am not sure how to delete them using Zone Alarm. Headed to the Trojan remover department. These days it is a good idea to have many spyware removal tools.
If you think you may have Trojan, at least go Install Free Zone Alarm Firewall. Most firewalls only protect keeping things out. Zone Alarm won't let your data get out unless you allow it.
The anti-virus that comes with it, is not the greatest, but getting better. But the Fire wall rules!
To the poster Mike, I went through the same things you did.
Toolbars are trouble every single time.

IS YOUR PROGRAM A TROJAN?
I HAD NO SOUND CARD.
WHEN I TRIED TO DO SOMETHING ON MY PC, AN SVCHOST.EXE WOULD KICK IN AND USE 50 TO 100 PERCENT OF MY CPU!
MY ANTI-VIRUS PROGRAM SAID TV FANATIC WAS A TROJAN SO I UNINSTALLED IT.
