Re: Windows acts like some malware is installed, but no scans find anything

If you have Malwarebytes installed, try updating it and running a scan with that.  It will provide a quick check for malware.  If you don't have it, it can be had here.

You will be able to save the log to Notepad and attach it to a reply.  You can also have a look in Event Viewer for any application errors to see if that sheds any light on the subject.

Hello

 

You can also use the free version of SUPERAntiSpyware as another check for malware. It can be found here.

 

Here is a free on demand antimalware scanner. It is safe to use on demand with your Norton product.

Here is another site you can use to get the program.

The download button is on the right hand side. Please be careful not to download Spyware Doctor which is on the left side. Also, please don't forget to update the program each time before use of it. In fact you can update it every day just in case some malware may prevent you from updating it.
