[Elecraft] K3 (and other) utilities not working

[Bill K9YEQ]

Whatever AV program you use, doesn't mean you are not subject to a virus
loaded by script via email or an infected web site.  I do computer work as a
part time effort and I spend a lot of time cleaning systems.  Try
downloading an additional program such as Malwarebytes to run a scan.  You
don't need to do more than do a trial version.  Once loaded I usually
uninstall and then download a new version once I get odd behavior on my PC.
There are other programs to use.  The key here is not to have a multitude of
AV programs running at once or you will run into additional problems.  If
you need more help email me privately and we'll go from there.

73,

I'm not sure what it could be then. Something  specific to your environment.

I'm not sure what to suggest.  What is your AV tool? I use MS Security
Essentials with Windows 7 64-bit.
