Thank you for your comment: it's very reassuring to see that Slideshare are prepared to make such a quick, high-level response to a malware problem. Slideshare members might like to note that the Slideshare "about us" page includes lots of contact information, which I also find very reassuring: all too many services seem to make it deliberately difficult for users to contact them in the event of a problem.
