    msabet,

    Many possible causes.

    We need to start ruling out possible causes. This will not be painless, this will not be instantaneous, I've not magic wand. What I do have is a long and tedious procedure that will get you there.

    Let's start with ruling out viruses.

    Carry out following, after you finished with that step, then let us know and we can proceed. No jumping around to a "quick fix".
    HOW TO USE WINDOWS DEFENDER OFFLINE ON A USB STICK
    Windows Defender Offline
    · is a free standalone, bootable malware and virus remover from Microsoft.
    · performs an offline scan of an infected PC to remove viruses, rootkits and other advanced malware.

    Download Windows Defender Offline (about 764 kB)

    You will have the choice of downloading the 32bit version (x86) or the 64 bit version (x64).
    The link will help you determine whether you are running a 32 bit version or 64 bit version of Windows

    NOTE!! You can download and prepare a 32 bit version using a 64 bit version of Windows
    NOTE!! You can download and prepare a 64 bit version using a 32bit version of Windows.

    You run the 32 bit version on a 32 bit version of Windows.
    You run the 64 bit version on a 64 bit version of Windows.

    The 32 bit download file name is: mssstool32.exe
    The 64 bit download file name is: mssstool64.exe

    For the curious, this program was originally name Microsoft Standalone System Sweeper.


    INSTALLATION:
    You will need an Internet Connection.
    Insert 512 mB (Microsoft’s 256 mB is no longer accurate) or larger USB stick into a usb port.
    Run the downloaded program--mssstool64.exe or mssstool32.exe
    NEXT button
    Choose the option On a USB flash drive that is not password protected
    NEXT button
    NEXT button
    .
    The install program will format the usb stick using the NTFS format.
    The install program will download about 210 mB.
    The install program will name the USB stick WDO_Media32 or WDO_Media64
    The WDO_Media32 usb stick will have used space of 255 mB (268,140,544 bytes)
    The WDO_Media64 usb stick will have used space of 282 mB (296,165,376 bytes)
    You can expect the number of mB to increase as more malware appears.

    UPDATE Windows Defender Offline USB stick:
    · reinsert the usb stick
    · run the installation program, mssstool64.exe or mssstool32.exe, again.
    · the update will download about 66 mB (mssstool32.exe) and 68 mB (mssstool64.exe).

    Since the malware database is sometimes updated several times in a day, always update before running.

    PERFORM AN OFFLINE SCAN
    Bootup your computer from the USB stick
    Windows Defender Offline will automatically perform a quick scan.
    After the quick scan finishes, Choose Full Scan
    Select all of your drives

    The initial, full scan can easily take several hours, but
    Remember, your computer is being very thoroughly checked for all types of malware.


    RESULTS OF THE SCAN
    The results will be in 4 log files on your computer's disk in:
    \Windows\Microsoft Antimalware\Support
    msssWrapper.log, (reveals start and stop time of WDO)
    MPDetection-dddddddd-nnnnnn.log, (version of detection engine and AV database)
    MPLog-dddddddd-nnnnnn.log (scan summary), and
    MpCacheStats.log
    .

    Upload the four log files please.

    At one stage of the process did that message appear?

    You are putting WDO onto a USB stick as indicated in the writeup? Yes/No

    msabet,
    1. that is not a php file. the php bbcode is needed to get a post that doesn't strip out extra spaces.
    2. that one file, wdofileinfo.txt, includes the .log files

    3. You are the new winner-- your system is the most corrupted that I've encountered.

    What anti-malware, what anti-virus software are you presently using?

    thanks,
    karl
