Once upon a time...
I was searching through the Processes tab, checking for that annoying "bargains" program which keeps coming back and hogging up system resources *cough*spyware*cough*, when I discovered other programs that I suspect may also be spyware. The only problem is that I can't distinguish those processes which are spyware from those which are legitamate system ones. I searched google, which was no help (wow, there's a line I'd never expect to say
) and, of course, neither was microsoft.com. Would anyone here happen to know of a place where I can find a list of nessisary XP system processes?
And, on a related note, tsl.exe is another program I'm trying to get rid of, but couldn't find a website with how- it gets under both my anti-spyware programs, and my anti-virus program. I also found "tsl2.exe" running, and suspect they might by affiliated but can't tell for sure
And "search relevancy"?, same thing, is it spyware?
