The initial symptom was that Adobe Reader wouldn't open PDFs. Not too unusual so I un-installed Reader and re-downloaded it. It is sitting in the downloads folder with no known icon and when I double click it ask me what to open it with. The name was readerdc_en_ra_cra_install.exe so Windows didn't know what to do with an exe

So far dsim hasn't worked and neither has the reg files. Odd. Just odd. No aparent virus.
