D Don Varnau Sep 16, 2004 #2 Hi, Topsearch is adware associated with Kazaa. Removing Kazaa may remove all of topsearch. Or, there are removal instructions at: http://sarc.com/avcenter/venc/data/adware.topsearch.html http://www.securemost.com/articles/rm_topsearch.htm http://www.pestpatrol.com/pestinfo/t/TopSearch.asp To completely remove kazaa, you may need to run KazaaBegone from http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=3446 Or, reinstalling Kazaa may solve the problem by reinstalling topsearch. I would probably not take this approach. See other useful information on spyware, adware, etc at: http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm Also note the security tips on that page.
