August 17, 2012Have you uninstalled – reinstalled it yet? Give that a try and let us know. Though it sounds a little like a virus to me, try scanning your computer with your antivirus as well.

– click on start and type default programs
– click on default programs

August 18, 2012As far as all your shortcuts opening (or attempting to) in Chrome then type file associations in the search box on the right. There are just too many posts to list them.
Is there an error message when you try to download anything?

August 25, 2012You have Malware. You need to scan and remove it.
Hit Ctrl-Alt-Delete and you will need to kill any rogue applications. Download Malwarebytes and run it.
If all else fails, back everything up and reinstall the OS.
