If that doesn't resolve your problem then:

But I've already uninstalled elaboratebytes virtualcd program, is it still there in the autoruns list that I've sent you? weird.

Also, where did you read about my virtual cd program causing problems with computers? I want to read about it. Thanks.

Well, I googled the issue and it seems that there are a lot of hits pertaining to MSE as the culprit. I'll try disabling real-time protection and see if there's an improvement.

CONFIRMED!

Disabling real-time protection almost instantly loaded all the icons of my files in one directory! The difference is enormous!

That's interesting and will upset a lot of people who swear by MSE. Don't leave yourself without AV protection though.

Yeah! Don't have any choice but to leave running MSE for now until I find an AV program that wouldn't cripple my system! Or I would love to have a fix for MSE, are there any fixes?

Just out of curiosity, can you go to Task Manager, Processes tab, find MsMpEng.exe and right click on it, change the priority level to something lower, see if that changes anything.

I can't see MsMpEng.exe under Processes tab though I have msseces.exe. Is that supposed to be the same service?

Ok, saw it. Tried setting priority of both to Low and didn't change a thing for my problem.

OK, just trying to keep you from having to disable real time protection.

This is interesting, since MSE is highly recommended and used. I don't have your same problems using MSE, hopefully this can resolved.

Haven't disabled it yet but I'm plagued with the icon issue.

Yeah, I hope we get a fix here. Hmmm, that's weird, why don't you experience the same problem as I do? We have both MSE.

Good question, I can only guess there are other factors involved, if it were happening to everyone that used MSE it would more widely documented.

Yeah, I'm glad though that it's not an isolated case for me. I hope you guys can help me here because as much as possible I don't want to stay away from MSE, it has been very good to me until now.

I am thinking ... if it would be possible to see the situation physically.

Can you upload a video ? Or TeamViewer may be a way out.
