Almost all icons launch Winzip; some do nothing

My ad blocker (Norman) reported that attempts were being made to alter some
registry keys. I blocked them, but now I can't launch anything hardly.
Quite a few will launch Winzip. Can't launch many of the Control panel
icons. Email is the only thing working, so I can receive any communications!
