Hello, there are a few threads online similar to this issue but I wanted to explain exactly how it happened. Google Chrome needed a 'critical security update' for Java, but after I updated there were loads of junk programs installed (i.e. advertising like Freeven).
I went into Programs and Features to uninstall each of the new junk programs. After uninstalling 2 or 3 of them, when clicking on the next program I got a message saying it was already uninstalled (it was not) - it said this for every single program. When I closed and opened the list again it didn't popluate. All the programs are still installed but the list only has 2 programs listed- to check programs still worked I opened Skype, and next time I opened the list Skype was there too.
Please help!
