Computer boots up but cant open a program

[jowlj]

Lately, when I first boot up for the day, I am not able to activate any programs on my desktop by clicking on an icon. sometimes i get the wheelie spinning round but nothing happens, this am i tried to open windows live mail and received an error message. Unfortunatley I cant quote the contents but it did mention that memory could be a problem. anway I rebooted an as usual everything was fine,

any ideas ?

I would recommend a couple of things to check.

First, make sure your anti-virus program is updated and run a full scan of your system.

Second, I would install Malwarebytes (get it from www.malwarebytes.org), update it, and run a full scan as well. Delete everything it finds.

After doing these things, if you still have issues, come back for more help.
