I keep getting script eror messages, so as I was going thru programs and deleting some I came acrooss one call Playtopus. My daughter is 13 so I thought she downloaded but she has never seen it. When I tride to uninstall it, it came up with the name Windows host process Rundll32. Ok so I figure its a virus. But my iobot says its not. but when I try to uninstall it I get a message from my iobot that I am deleting something that i shouldnt be. HELP!!!
I already have been looking thru on this site and did evrthing I could find that would remove the message of it stopping working, but I dont think it will till IO uninstal Playtopus
 
Solution
Maybe this helps: http://www.dotfab.com/resources/how-to-remove-adware-playtopus-adwarehijacker-removal-guide/ And think about a (better) virus scanner.

:bounce: THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! Have had an awesome day doing this today!!!! THANK YOU!!!! but the script error message still comes up. was it supposed to be taken care in that virus remover steps?
 

Is it a script error in the webbrowser or in windows? Do you have the name of the script?
