Worried: uatl.exe

Rascyc · May 8, 2005

For awhile now, I've had this 'uatl.exe' process running, and it periodically tries to access the internet upon bootup (to which I always deny). I'm not quite sure what it is, as a google search brought no light (other than UATL is some language - irrelevent in this case, I believe).

What worried me is that when I tracked it down through the HJT logs, the file was very well hidden. Explorer.exe couldn't pick it up, and I had to go through cmd.exe and do a ">dir /a" to locate it.

At this point, I'm not quite sure what to do. If anyone has any answers, insights, or suggestions, I would happy to hear them.
