I have a Lenovo IdeaPad, WIndows 8. I recently factory reset my computer due to all of the junk it had and was testing a few browsers. I found Maxthon so I kept with it, but then this came up. Whatever Upleyte is, it creates a bunch of versions of itself and increases CPU. It just doesn't go away. I tried removing it with Dr Delete but it just came back, a little help would be appreciated, here's a screenshot of where I found it.
How to get rid of Upleyte?

Run thru this little malware removal guide
if you have no extensions, then you have hidden ones and you'll have to reset chrome
but run thru at least the first 1/2 of my little guide (adwclener, junkware removal tool and mbam)
these days what is common are PUPs.potentially unwanted programs that gives adware that came in a bundle with something else…
run adwcleaner and junkware removal tool. You can get them here
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/windows/security-utilities/
and then do additional cleanup with MBAM
https://www.malwarebytes.org
then go check your browsers for any "bad" extensions. Remove if possible. If none are seen, and you still have adware in your browsers, then you'll need to reset your browsers. (google on how to reset them). And also set homepage and search engine defaults
for virus / trojan detection that you can use in conjunction with any real time AV you have. These scan tools don't offer real time protection but are good removal tools
online scanner from eset
http://www.eset.com/us/online-scanner
and / or kaspersky's avptool
http://www.kaspersky.com/antivirus-removal-tool?form=1
after it's cleaned out… Install (into firefox) a popup blocker adblock plus, adblock edge and another addon called noscript. Also while at malwarebytes, look at it's free anti-exploit as another form of protection
check out Baidu http://antivirus.baidu.com/en/
top rated… Extremely fast install and scans… Very low on cpu usage
