Anyone seen tgcmd.exe before?

I found a program on a client's laptop running Windows XP with latest service pack and all hot fixes applied.  The 
client reported that someone was remotely controlling his desktop while he was on his home network.  The client had 
Zone Alarm, Symantec Anti-virus software, and was using a Linksys firewall.  I checked several websites for information 
on tgcmd.exe and possibilities for the source of this software appear to be either for Sony Vaio laptops or @Home 
support software.  Unfortunately, the user's laptop is an IBM Thinkpad and the client had no recollection of installing 
the Support.com software.  Here is the output from fport:
