TV T-Media Display - Adware removal instructions
http://www.kephyr.com/spywarescanner/library/tvtmediadisplay/index.phtml

Scroll down to:
Manual removal

[[Please notice that you must follow the instructions very carefully and
delete everything that is mentioned. In most cases the removal will fail if
one single item is not deleted. If TV T-Media Display remains on your system
after stepping through the removal instructions, please double-check by
stepping through them again. ]]

Hope this helps.  Let us know.
