Does anyone have some more info on the eGdpSvc.exe file?

All antivirus programs reported it as clean except ESET-NOD32 which classified eGdpSvc.exe as "Win32/ELEX.F".

Do you have eGdpSvc.exe on your system? Please upload it to virustotal.com to let the scanners there have a look at it.

Please post the link to the scan result in the comments here.

hello Roger,
I found the egdpsvc.exe in my processes, and tried to remove it. I found a folder ...users\AppData\eInstaller, where the exe was found. (unfortunately) I deleted the file, so I cannot send it. But...... after rebooting the machine, the process still gets loaded.
I ran an intensive scan with MS Securities, I searched all the registry, I searched all de c: drive. Nothing found.
Before I start to run your virusscanner, I want you advice, is there some news on this topic?

kind regards,
Herbert

Hi, i have win XP installed in my MacBook Pro with Bootcamp. I was suffering from this eGDBSVC.exe which disturbs my system's performance. After 4 to 5 minutes from booting, my laptop hangs. For a long time i did not find the reason. when i checked the windows task manager there i found an anonymous process eGDBSVC.exe whose exe was located at "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\eSafe". Though my antivirus (KIS 13.0) did not detect it, i quarantined it with KIS. Now everything is fine and smooth.

MS Security does not pick eGdpSvc.exe up but I have just installed Ashampoo Anti-Virus and now I am getting alerts every 10 minutes or so which is driving me nuts. Also my system seems to run slower now and I don't know which program this .exe file has attached itself to.
