It's up to users to find out the program is vulnerable and patch it when Comcast are the ones who want to install it on your computer? That doesn't seem to make sense. |

I have that file ( tgctlsi.dll ) in two different places on my system.
Is it safe to delete it? I long ago uninstalled the Comcast software, but these remain.

Or . . . Comcast can just bite the bullet and admit that the software is unnecessary, intrusive, resource intensive and NOW a security risk, and just come up with a more reasonable provisioning process.
it is necessary....you know how many extra reps would be needed in order to provision everyones EMTA....hundreds just the extra surge of calls...
intrusive? its not a data miner!!!
resource intensive? ummmm no....no extra processes are being run on your computer once self provisioning is done...
bad choice of words there....is it a pain...yes...but hell it is necessary when it comes to how the business is run...they just cant handle having to self provision everyone... |
