I've scanned for viruses in both normal and safe modes with no results. Sometimes the system will hang - like everything freezes and then the cursor freezes and won't move. The only programs I have that would affect the way explorer is working would be Dropbox.

Thank you for your time.

also Check Windows System files integrity
  • open the Command Prompt as Administrator (Tutorial)
  • type the following command and press Enter:
    sfc /scannow
    
    Note: This may take some time to finish.

    if it say some errors are found and couldn't fix them do this:
  • In the command prompt window, type:
    findstr /c:"[SR]" %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log >%userprofile%\Desktop\sfcdetails.txt
  • Close the command prompt.
  • Attach to your post the sfcdetails.txt file that was just placed on your Desktop

Hi,

It seems you have a bad hosts file! Go to this Microsoft page download and execute the FixIt Tool and follow the on-screen instructions.

What can you tell me about the sfc scan result?

Hi,

It seems the Bonjour program isn't working properly you should try to remove the software and reinstall.

Is your Windows updated with all Windows Updates?

Your version of Java Runtime is outdated! and it makes you computer vulnerable. To update go to the Java download page and click from the link Windows Offline this file will not include any unneeded extras like the ASK Toolbar.


I would like to check some critical windows services...

Please Download Farbar Service Scanner
- Run FSS
- Check all the options
- click Scan

My apologies for the late reply - yes, the problem is still persisting. I tried reinstalling bonjour and am going to update Java.
