    Try this.

    Download Deckard's Association File Tool (DAFT) and save it to your desktop.
    • Rename daft.exe to daft.com and double click on it to run.
    • Read the disclaimer and click OK.
    • Click on the Scan button.
    • If it finds faulty file associations, they will appear in red beside a checkbox. If this occurs, just place a checkmark (tick) in the boxes in question.
    • Click the Fix button.

    Did this just start happening?

    Try system restore.

    Have you done any disk cleanup or scanned for virus?

    Try another file association fix. Doug Knox File Association Fix

    If that one doesn't work post a HJT log.

    Download and rename HijackThis.exe (HJT)
    • Double-click on HJTInstall.
    • Click on the Install button.
    • It will automatically place HJT in C:\Program Files\TrendMicro\HijackThis\HijackThis.exe.
    • Upon install, HijackThis should open for you.
    • Close HijackThis and rename it.
    • Go to C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis.exe
    • Right click on HijackThis.exe and select Rename.
    • Type in sniper.exe and press Enter.
    • Right-click on sniper.exe and select Send To > Desktop (create shortcut)
    • From the desktop open Hijackthis.
    • If using Windows Vista, Right-click and Run As Administrator.
    • Click on the Do a system scan and save a log file button
    • Hijackthis will scan and then a log will open in notepad.
    • Copy and then paste the entire contents of the log in your post.
    • Do not have Hijackthis fix anything yet. Most of what it finds will be harmless or even required.
    Although we have renamed Hijackthis to sniper, we will still refer to it as Hijackthis or HJT.

    Don't see any malware.

    We can get rid of the McAfee stuff, that can't be helping anything.

    Have you tried creating new shortcuts?

    Use the McAfee Consumer Product Removal Tool

    Try clearing the cache. In Firefox go to Tools > Clear private data...

    Sounds like something is failing only I'm not sure what.
