Make sure you have the latest virus definitions and that your programs are up to date. For the first entry I listed, the site gives instructions for removal. As for the second entry, it could "possibly" be spyware related to a legit program you've installed, so you may actually use it, and it's just classified as spyware. Depending on your situation, you may want to leave it. The site I listed for it has a removal tool for download.
The file schsvr.exe is installed with WinDVD Remote Control for WinDVD from Intervideo. If you want to schedule recordings from your TV tuner card, you will need it...so leave it alone.
All the best,

Open Windows Explorer: type the word explorer at Start/Run box and click OK:
Drill on down and delete the following file: (it may not be present after deletion of the Registry entry)
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\umzkksb.dll
Exit Explorer and empty the Recycle Bin.
Reboot to normal mode and download the latest versions of Spybot and Adaware if you don't have them (I didn't see the TeaTimer entry for Spybot so wonder if you have older 1.2 version. At any rate...the running instructions can make a big difference in what they will achieve. Run these two programs (Spybot S&D and Adaware) at the link below. Use Spybot first.
Most Internet baddies can be killed by a one-two punch with Spybot and Adaware assuming these three factors are achieved:
1. Latest version 2. Configured correctly for running options 3. New definitions from update feature
Chris has posted an excellent tutorial by dgosling on how to run Spybot S&D and also how to enable customized deep scanning functions for Adaware. Once you set these options they will be retained for future scans by Adaware.
Follow the directions in this detailed guide for Spybot and Adaware...print out the directions in the custom scan tutorial as a reference while you set these options for the custom setup of Adaware. These custom settings will be retained for future custom scans so don't go nuts thinking you have to do this every time you run it! It may take you five minutes to set them up, but it's worth it.
Please note the free Spybot 1.3 does have a slight bug...it detects some DSO exploits falsely. Hopefully an upgrade will fix this.The problem is not serious and should not deter people from using Spybot.
I also like to run Windows Disk Cleanup after cleaning with those two tools. Make sure you reboot if any reboot cleanup functions of Spybot and Adaware are advised by these tools (this may happen at the end of their cleanup).
Run Disk Cleanup: type cleanmgr at Start/Run. Scan all hard drives and check all categories at the end and click OK.
If you have any problems with Disk Cleanup completing...XP users can fix it here:

According to the following site, the entry C:\WINDOWS\System32\spool\drivers\w32x86\3\hpztsb05.exe is a virus.

Another entry that is suspicious is C:\Program Files\InterVideo\WinDVR3\SchSvr.exe. See site below.

Everything else seems to be legit.
The sites I've listed have more information.
