GdiplusUpgrade

[aries]

On my add or remove programs list is something called GdiplusUpgrade. It only says "used" and "rarely" and does not have a button to change or remove it.

When I use my Windows search tool to find anything even remotely similar it can only find GDI which is a windows thing.

Is this spyware or what?

Hello.

You probably saw this:

You could try this tool to try and determine which instance of the gdiplus.dll file is being used by an application:

If you would like someone to take a look at the system, please follow the procedure in this link: "BEFORE you POST" Steps to take Before Requesting Assistance (http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=288)
