| I have picked up both slserver.exe and msdatlst.exe
| can anyone identify them and tell me how to get rid. I've tried Spybot but
| they keep coming back. Disabling them in startup manager (in Spybot) prevents
| my IE from connecting.
| Any ideas?
To find out what the suspects are...
Please submit both "slserver.exe" and "msdatlst.exet" to Virus Total --
http://www.virustotal.com/flash/index_en.html
The submission will then be tested against several different AV vendor's scanners.
Another way to submit is to send the suspect file to the following email address
scan<at>virustotal.com
{ replace <at> with @ } with only the word SCAN as the subject.
Please post back the EXACT results.
You can try the following instructions to remove them as well.
Dump the contents of the IE Temporary Internet Folder cache (TIF)
