Programs Missing From Control Panel Programs List

Did you run the programs that JohnSmith posted.

I am not sure I understand what you mean by 'Control Panel'. Below is a picture of the control panel. Can you post a snip where the programs are missing.

That is indeed very strange. Are the program still present in the x86 program files or are those just empty folders - e.g. Nero.

One other thing you can check is install the Revo uninstaller (an excellent uninstaller) - download the free version in the left column. See whether Revo shows those programs.

This is the 'browser add-on' that Malwarebytes' blocked (contentexplorer.exe):

Revo shows even less programs LOL

Not really surprising since Revo Uninstaller will not show 64 bit programs...

This is correct. But for the rest I am baffled - especially since all the programs work. Something must be corrupted. Question is what.
