Kalt,

You are not the only person to think that TCA is a terrible program.  If you look at the underpinnings you will see Norton System Works at the heart.  Just start msconfig and click on the startup tab and turn TCA off at startup.  Norton or Symantec products used to be good, but now they are just bloatware.   If you want a decent firewall/antivirus setup Eset is about at the top of my list.

I know...I don't own an HP, I'm just voicing my opinion from a support standpoint.

Also, highly recommend you read this thread as an Anti-Virus Primer.

Best of Luck.
