The primary executable is named utils.exe. A majority of users end up uninstalling this less than a week of it being installed. The setup package generally installs about 15 files and is usually about 2.14 MB (2,248,856 bytes). The installed file Torntv V6.0-updater.exe is the auto-update component of the program which is designed to check for software updates and notify and apply them when new versions are discovered.
