Any ideas what might have sprouted this problem?

Any recent downloads or installs?

Are you able to open programs from the Start menu?

I can't open folders. From Start menu I can open RUN but can't  open search !!

I don't remember exactly what is the last thing happened that changed it . I 'm not sure .

Hi catkoot!

While you are being helped here, I suggest you also go to theMalware Removal Board, and read This and post the three logs there.

Have you tried to go to a previous restore point?
