Answer 3

I suggest you run a virus scan. Otherwise, try restarting your PC it might just be an error which can fix itself when it restarts. If nothing works, get in contact with customer support (of your PC, say vaio or hp or dell depending on what you have) and they might be able to help you. If all else fails, you can always do a complete restart and install everything new, this always gets rid of viruses etc.

Good luck :]
