Get anything you can from filehippo.com . They're a Piriform approved site. I've used it for many years. Clean stuff. But the best bet is to see what the folks at Piriform say about all apps available there. For example, I don't install Java anymore. I thought it was as necessary as Flash. Not so much, apparently. Adobe bloat uses Java. And I hate bloatware. Nothing sinks faster in water than a bloat.

I downloaded and tried a scan with Malwarebytes anti malware but it didn't detect any problems.
I hadn't seen that post you linked to so wasn't aware of step two. Guess I should have looked a bit harder.
It's getting a bit late here now so I'll give it a try tomorrow just to be sure my system is clean but I think webroot found the problem as everything seems to be running good now.
