Lets double check that file, there was a reason it was removed
You need to enable windows to show all files and folders, instructions Here
Go to VirusTotal and submit this file for analysis, just use the browse feature and then Send File, you will get a report back, post the report into this thread for me to see. If the site says this file has been checked before, have them check it again
Lets leave it be then and upgrade the program like you said.
At this point I would say your issues are not malware related so I would post back at the other forum and let them know.
