Problem started after I tried installing an old version of an Adobe program. It came with an emulator (amtemu.v0.9.2-painter.exe). Before running the program, I searched for feedback online and it was apparently safe to run. MBAM did not flag the file but Sophos did as a PUA (and blocks it from running).
The problem started with Sandboxie. I couldn't clear my cache normally and had to delete on Safe Mode. I assumed rhe program was corrupted so I uninstalled it. Next was Friefox. It won't connect to the Internet at all then started crashing. Then it won't run again as there was a previous instance in the background. Task Manager shows at least 5 to 6 running and I am unable to end 1 or 2 of them.
Ran a full AV/malware scan with zero results.
I am able to access the Internet (and post this) using Firefox on Safe Mode but cannot download a fresh installer; the website says the download was interrupted. I managed to, though, using IE.
Please advise. Thank you in advance.
