You're just starting with Windows 8.1 Pro and haven't had much time to settle in. After trying various solutions, the issue still persists.

Running a malware scan now, I’ll also check with adwcleaner. Are you both convinced this might be a virus? I’ve been very cautious about installing programs and opening .exe files, and I haven’t encountered a virus in a long time. Over the past 48 hours I’ve installed many programs, so...
