Hi,
You're probably right in your suspicions, it's likely malware. Task Manager is the biggest clue. I would suggest that you start be booting to Safe mode to do some formal scanning with the anit-malware products of your choice. Trying to do it from normal mode is difficult at best since the bugs are loaded and will resist being detected or removed. If your antivirus software has the capability, also schedule it to scan the system at startup (so it can catch and remove the bugs before they are loaded).

I don't think this is an appearance issue. Now that its been a few days
into the problem, I'm thinking I'm hijacked or something. I can't
perform a windows update or any adobe updates, I can't access system
restore or task manager, safe mode doesn't work, and the computer can't
successfully shutdown...I have to manually turn the computer off.
Whatever virus or malware it is, it certainly guards from typical means
of getting rid of it. Any suggestions? Thanks for the reply.
