I just scanned my computer and found 2 viruses from Style Xp(which is a program that gives you extra themes for your PC. Pretty cool). If anyone has this problem please give me some advice.+ I noticed my computer is going slower ever since I installed it. I have 512mb of RAM thinking of upgrading to 1gb RAM- is that going to help?

Hi,

Theres a lot of skins out there with malware bundled in, Its likely that you have become victim to one of theese infected skins.

My advice, stick to Wincustomise for StyleXp & WindowBlinds skin's.

styleXP and windowsblinds and any other windows skinning software results in a effect on system performance. if you want nice themes without the compromise of system performace look for uxtheme.

you get nice looking desktop environments, without any resource penelty that 3rd party skinning software provides.
