Got me. Just got sideswiped by the dreaded Antivirus Virus. killed my exe relationships so I could only run Firefox or IE (strange that) Screwed my icons so they all looked the same, and put links in my start menu.

Ran everything , System AV, Malabytes, Defender - No threat. I fixed up the exe, repaired the Icon cache, deleted every record recommended. Seemed alright, then, internet freeze, programs started "not responding". I did a backup restore from Acronis and I think it's gone.
