When I click on a folder on the desktop it says "C:\Users\Brow\Desktop\Files No such interface supported"

And of all the weird things, I can't save files from Paint (screenshots). I'm thinking I'll just scrap the thing and grab a new system.

Thoughts?
Did you create a "Restore" point?

If you did, then restore to it, then follow these steps:

How to Clean Up a Windows Spyware Infestation

...and you should be all good. The link is for older OS's (XP), but I still use the tools it references for Vista, 7, & 8 with sufficient results.
