OS Might Be Corrupt
I have enough problems with my system that it might be corrupt - in more
than one place. This is just a guess. However, I have over 100 apps installed and would hate to have to reinstall all of them with their specific settings. 1. How can I tell if my system IS corrupt? 2. If it is, what is the EASIEST way to get back to where I was before it became corrupt? 3. Is there a way to un-corrupt my system without reformatting and reinstalling the OS? I've been very careful to install only legitimate software and I've faithfully run anti-malware programs and Norton Internet Security. I also have backups of my whole system. I'm hoping that there's some way to determine what my problems are and fix them without a fresh install. After all, if a system can become corrupt this simply, what good is it - especially if it can't tell me what's wrong and what needs to be fixed?

You run System File Check -- sfc /scannow at Command Prompt.
