It is spyware.  Rumor has it, Comcast installs it w/ cable modems, and some laptop vendors install it as well.

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:
