When I double click programs on the desktop, they do not open. The icon just dims out. I also cannot open programs selecting them from the start menu. However, in either case, if I right click and choose "Open" they'll open.
MalwareBytes found and removed some malware, but that didn't fix this, and Microsoft Security Essentials came up negative on viruses (Scans were done in safe mode), but I'm not completely convinced. The only other thing out of the ordinary I did was remove some programs downloaded by my cousin. System Restore didn't fix it either. Oh, and this problem does not happen in safe mode.
Do I need a better (free) antivirus? Reformat? .-.
