using RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR on a new W10 system tries to open a ZIP file ?

Windows Central Question

Whenever I try to use the RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR on a new W10 installation upgraded from W7 conversion option on any desktop files, it tries to load a zip file usually named something like myzip.zip of myzip(1) or myzip(2P) etc file, or it complains that it cannot open a file in C:\windows\system32 ??????

Is this a virus of some sort. ? I have Malwarebytes installed, and Avast security, but they report nothing untoward ?

I really need to bottom this out, it is a real pain in the proverbial butt.

Exactly, you got a redirect malware. Clean with that, 100 times better than Malwarebytes:

AdwCleaner Download

Only SpyHunter is better, but isn't freeware
