Did you just find a download or a file on your computer that has a digital signature from TMRG Inc.? Some of the security products refers to the detected files as PUP.Optional.RelevantKnowledge and Marketscore.RelevantKnowledge (fs). The detection rate for the TMRG Inc. files collected here is 37%. Please read on for more details.

Here's a screencap of a file that has been digitally signed by TMRG Inc.:
