    Programs running in task manager, but no applications


    About two weeks ago, my computer would not bring up any of the programs I had running after I had opened it once.

    For example, I would open firefox, and exit it by clicking the "X" in the top right corner. Later, I would click the firefox icon again to bring up the browser. However, The task manager added another firefox to the process list, but no firefox application was opened.

    I can run everything right when I start the computer, but even when I haven't opened certain programs for a first time, it still won't let me run them.

    I have already removed Malware and performed a clean boot.

    thanks!
