Recent I tried to install an application and my computer started to behave indifferently. Task Manger cannot be opened it says prevent opening as it may contain virus, same for all .exe files I tried to open. Then Windows Defender appears in a dialog box saying Malware Detected ( many times) but cannot open windows defender. When I tried to open Task Manager after some time it says application Not Found and when opening other .exe files a dialog box appears on the screen saying unable to open .exe file try some applications from the store app to open it. After about 20 minutes when I tried to open task manager it opened and everything again back to normal. I opened Windows Defender and it deleted something "Natasha.C" at that time. Then I restarted the computer and again the same problem is appearing.
I typed this using Google Chrome which on the beginning cannot be opened but after some time only this application can be opened.
Please Help me.
I'm running windows 8.1 Pro
Thanks in advance

I have a similar problem. I can open most files like steam and such on my PC, but then there's some files I can't. Also it doesn't allow me to download and install any .exe files from the internet, doesn't even open the installer. Got any solutions?
