    Hope someone has an answer. When I try to preview multiple jpg files with Windows' picture viewer, the program immediately tries to move the file to a new folder of my choice (???) and then open them. Obviously, I just want to view, not move them. Anyone know why this is happening? Thx.

    To reenable Picture and Fax viewer again

    Start - Run - regsvr32 shimgvw.dll

    read above, your picture viewer might be corrupted

    you should run some scans to be sure your pc is clean:

    Download, install, update and do full scan with these free malware detection programs:

    Malwarebytes Free (MBAM): http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/

    SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/

    Remove all found, reboot, and run again until scans run clean, these can be removed afterwards if you so choose. Run scans one at a time, please.
