I Think I Have Spyware

[kazaaman]

Is a program called topstyle lite spyware?

If it is i cant remove it or uninstall it cuz when i go to add remove programs and try to it wont do anything.

And adware didnt delete it either.

But is sounds like syware and my computer's been acting weird lately.

Cheers

You need HijackThis! & CWShredder. Also post your HT log over at their forum. They're the experts.

What are you guys talking about ?

topstyle lite is a style sheet editor it sometimes comes as an extra program with applications such as Dreamweaver or other Web Page authoring programs.

Have you installed any Web Authoring programs recently ? I could be wrong and you have spyware named as the same as this program but I doubt it.

However a spyware removal tool is always useful. some of the best are:

Spybot
Ad-aware
HijackThis

I use all 3 together and run them regularly. If im correct and you cannot remove topstyle lite by installing the program it came with again and then uninstalling properly then you might need to do it manually and edit the registry. Might be worth visiting or emailing the Authors of the program. HERE (http://www.dexnet.com/topstyle/)
