SilverSpeed Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Hi. I've been noticing over several months that more and more programs have stopped appearing in my search bar and in the "Add/Remove Programs" menu. I am uncertain of why this has been happening but I can confirm that each program that appears missing is still in the original download directory. Examples of programs include everything from Microsoft Office, Anvi Smart Defender, Puush (Though this has now been manually deleted due to the recent hacking.), Avira, and likely others. I'm not sure if it's related but the Calculator application recently changed to be called Calc.exe on my computer as well. I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit.

Free money accepted here Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 The name of the executable that launches when you open calculator is called "calc.exe", so I think that is normal. Do you have any antiviruses or registry cleaners? Also do a scan with malwarebytes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have Avira and Anvi Smart Defender for virus cleaning, Anvi is able to clean out registries but that requires the premium, which I don't have the money to pay for.
