This might sound weird but:
Delete notepdad.exe from windows32 (nothing else if you want ur computer to survive)
Download notepad++, use that instead (or use no txt editor)
Problem should be fixed

I honestly don't know, but it fixed the problem for other people.
Maybe a malicious program hiding in notepad, would be a good strategy for a virus maker, cause no one would suspect notepad of being the problem.

I had that too. Emsisoft found a trojan. Nothing else did even when I knew where it was. It was invisible to explorer.

Just written loads on another post about best anti-virus... none are best imo!
