The Russian-developed Get-Styles application even has its own registered Internet resource, but it is quite “corrosive” to the operating system, which is more like a virus than official software. And the question of how to remove the Get-Styles program, many users who installed it, frankly baffles (unfortunately, this application sometimes doesn’t want to be deleted under any pretext). However, you can offer several options for actions, the implementation of which will get rid of this applet completely. But first, we’ll figure out what this program really is.
What is Get-Styles?
In fact, this software can be classified as viruses rather arbitrarily, since the application itself is an official development designed to change the themes on the pages of users of the VKontakte social network based on the available set of built-in templates.
Here is just a question related to how to remove Get-Styles, in most cases, users arise only because sometimes this applet penetrates and is installed on a computer system spontaneously. In principle, you can’t refuse to use the program, but only change or delete the template version of the design of your personal page. But if the application becomes too annoying, you will have to get rid of it completely and completely.
How to remove Get-Styles theme?
First, let's say a few words for all users who do not want to uninstall this applet, but simply want to change or delete some topic. You can do this through the page settings, selecting the general settings and the section for changing regional settings. Here in the language settings you just need to change “Pre-revolutionary” or “Soviet” to “Russian”. You can also use the installed panel in the browser, where the topic section is selected, and the current theme is changed to the standard one. If the change did not work the first time, you must perform the procedure again. To completely delete the topic in the account settings, use the corresponding line in the menu on the left.
How to completely remove Get-Styles: standard actions
Despite the fact that you can delete themes, the program itself from the computer does not disappear, not to mention the extension in browsers. In the matter of how to remove Get-Styles, initially you can use the standard tool to remove programs from the "Control Panel".
In the list, you just need to find the component you are looking for and click the uninstall button (or use the RMB menu with the selection of the delete line). Upon completion of these steps, it is advisable to search the registry and in the "Explorer" for the name of the program in order to find the residual elements of the program and delete them. Only after completing the totality of these steps for complete confidence should a complete reboot of the computer system.
Unlock files and uninstallers
That's just the standard method through the section of programs and components, the application is not always deleted. In some cases, it may be protected from deletion. How to remove Get-Styles? In this situation, you first need to find the main folder of the program (usually it is located in the Program Files directory) and use the Unlocker program to unlock it, after which it will be possible to delete the application you are looking for. But that may not work. Then, after unlocking, you will have to move the directory to another place, disconnect the Internet connection, and only after that use either standard or manual deletion. With manual removal, it is additionally mandatory to clean the registry keys.
But, as practice shows, in order not to engage in unlocking application files and not to search for residues after deletion, it is best to use the iObit Uninstaller program (or its analogue Revo Uninstaller). These programs are mainly interesting in that they not only find the trash remaining in the system after standard deletion, but also do not require various additional rights, privileges or unlocking files and directories without access even when uninstalling the built-in Windows components.
Using them is very simple. How to remove Get-Styles with their help? Quite elementary: launch the application, mark the component you need, delete it, launch an additional powerful scan, then get rid of all the residuals, and at the end of the process, reboot the system.
The most radical method, if all else fails
If absolutely none of the above helps (which, however, is unlikely), use the standard system recovery to the control point when Get-Styles appeared on the computer.
If this does not work (which is also unlikely), try to get rid of the annoying application using the Dr. Ultra In some cases, as evidenced by user reviews on the Internet, such methods help. Not always, true, but there is a chance, as they say.
