context menu hiding behind active window

my context menu is hiding behind the active window. wondering how to fix this.

here's an example of what i see in the image below:


my mouse left-clicked on "RiDDiCK" in the AFK channel. then, i right-click while i'm in that position. notice the context menu is hidden behind the active window. the same thing happens on firefox as you can see below:



in the above image, notice how the mouse has left-clicked on the yellow folder "Bookmarks" in the bookmark toolbar. now if you look all the way at the bottom of this image, you can see the very last few bookmarks. the rest of the bookmarks under "Bookmark" are hidden.

any idea how to fix?

I would start with a SFC /Scannow in an elevated command window. If this started suddenly, you could go back to a Restore Point. Also, a deep scan for malware may be called for.

i ran malewarebytes quick scan then rebooted. then the function returned to normal.

thanks for responding.

malwarebytes didn't find anything suspicious. the reboot "apparently" fixed the problem.

what happened was a guy i thought was legit messaged me on steam. he put a link in his steam message. i'm not going to put that link here unless specifically requested. it was very cryptic. it looked like the razer website, but had one random letter added to it. if you read the link fast, you'd miss that random letter, which was bogus. it took me to a bogus "razer" website. i tried to dl that link, as the guy specified. it started an executable for some type of remote manager. i checked task manager and found two suspicious processes. quickly terminated those tasks. i honestly don't know if damage has been avoided. changed my steam password after terminating those processes. still have my $600 Counter-Strike: Global Offensive inventory. but i should probly check that again.

bottom line: i don't know to what degree my system has been compromised and/or is in danger, if any. im thinking i'll run my kasperskly total protection and see if it finds anything.

well good thing LB motivated me based on my weak solution. a kaspersky scan found the following issues and resolved them:
vp8encoder.dll
vp8decoder.dll
rfusclient.exe
rutserv.exe

i believe the kaspersky message for them all was something like "malicious remote management" or something to that effect.

did not have rootkit scan enabled on malwarebytes. ran a new malwarebytes scan w/rootkit enabled.

sounds like i better run ESET just for safety sake. will let that run tonight.

results of ESET scan:

additionally, forgot to mention that malwarebytes rootkit scan found 49 issues.

will have to go to work on other critical passwords tomorrow.
