After years of referring to the site for answers to my questions, I've ran into an issue that I can't find a solution to. SO here it goes. As of a couple of weeks ago, I can not run Internet Explorer, Windows Media Player, Spy Sweeper, or automatic updates (which uses IE). If I try the programs freeze but Firefox and Realplayer run. However, if I back door into my "Administrator" account (the account I usually use is set to admin) everything works except Windows Automatic Updates. I've scanned with avg and malwarebytes. Found nothing. Any ideas?
