I am running Windows 7 Ultimate on a very fast computer. Yesterday it was crashing Outlook, the search engine was not working, and I had trouble getting anything to work. I clicked the up-arrow on the right side of the taskbar to see what was running,

and there was something I had never seen before - labeled "Everything". I opened it to see what it was, and it had several http:// items it seemed to be controlling. After deleting it and restoring the system, Outlook still crashes and the search engine

is still fouled up! Any ideas? It seems like a malware, but Microsoft Security Essentials did not detect it.
