Well in my experience, programs of that nature tend to do more harm than good

In what way?

And do the rest of the entries look sound now?

Thanks for your combined assistance BTW.

Mine too,A lot of them are for want of a better phrase,resource hoggers & will tend to slow down your PC over time.you'll take longer to start up &,if on a laptop,your battery life will go down.
I used to put all these programmes on my machines,you know the ones.Speed booster,block this,stop that...
Now I use the basics & that's it.Microsoft Security Essentials,CCCleaner,Malwarebytes & Spybot & that's it.
Nothing to boost the speed ect,just by regulary cleaning out your machine,deleting browser cache,history ect & regulary backing up onto a portable HD does the trick imho.

You don't really need to restart your computer to get rid of this. Simply go on the internet, download a program called HiJackThis, get the .exe of it. Rename it as iexplore.exe, and run it. Scan through the list for anything with (randomcharactershere)tssd.exe and checkmark it. Then when you're finished, simply "fix checked items". Then download and run malwarebytes anti malware and you're done.
I juse suffered two bouts of it a week apart without a problem. It'll likely show up again, but i can just keep killing it.

Give it a clean up if you havnt already ~

Download CCLEANER
http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download/slim
Run the CLEANER scan (UNTICK 'cookies')
Then run the REGISTRY scan (Backup the registry when it asks)

Would never be without CCleaner.

one of my arsenal along with Glary, Spybot and AdAware (When I can get it to run properly)

Oh, and if you didn't pick it up above, use Firefox!
