Default O.T. Missing Folder/files

Hmmmmm I'm trying to think of anything that has a hot key that
I use. My banking login is a hotkey setup where it already has
the information but I click a box to enter it manually instead. I
guess my emails would be another example of hotkeys. The
information is already there. Of course I may be confusing cookies
with hotkeys.

I do have Quick Time but I've had it for a long time and as I said I
believe my Dell Imaging uses it because I remember I uninstalled it
once and then had to re-install it. It would seem odd that it would
start acting up after all this time. It's just a reasonable to suspect
Sea Monkey since that is a recent addition. Whatever it is it's holding
us up to create Win 7 Pro clones which I very much want to do especially
since we found that the 8500 still has it's original 1TB hd.

I ran all the scans and they all came back OK:

Thoughts, suggestions?

Funny, I see Malwarebytes doesn't include the rootkit
in the main product ? It's available here as a separate download.

https://www.malwarebytes.com/antirootkit/

https://downloads.malwarebytes.com/file/mbar/

Before leaving the web page, copy and paste the usage
instructions from the web page, to some place you'll be
able to read them, if there is a network outage on the machine
and you can't get back there. Save as text in Notepad perhaps.

It's highly unlikely to be a rootkit, and by suggesting
running this, I'm hoping the hooking of the backspace
key is something MBAR recognizes. Rather than me suggesting
it's an actual rootkit, because the black hats are not
supposed to be using those any more. Whether MBAR detects
RATs, we'll just have to test and see.
