Same thing happened to me Kenny and I had to do the same as you. I have Windows 7.  Actually it happened twice and one time I did a restore that fixed it.

Bill, 
I'm glad you got through it and you got back up to speed  
my main DAW is Windows and I won't even put it online ….I learned that lesson the hard way 
I went through 3 online windows computers while my XP DAW has survived 10years offline and is still running strong 
my W 8 DAW only goes online to update music software only nothing else 
 
too many games and hoops to jump through seem to be going on online with some of these companies … 
they know they are the only game in town since they have the whole market as it is 
I was having the hardest time just getting u tube to play a video for a long while on my online computer 
the load times were ridiculous  and I couldn't even get a vid to play all the way through 
then I found out about this little thing they have going on …w u tube 
http://www.youtube.com/html5 
Now , I have to manually switch players to watch a vid   
 
I'm just glad I was able to solve the problem for now …..makes me wonder if I need to get a back up machine just for online 
 
sorry folks for the rant ….this whole thing caught me off guard …..

A lot of videos and other media is now adding a message to the window that you need to update Adobe Flash Player... you don't. If that is what you did, maybe you should scan with Malwarebytes. I get it ALL THE TIME, I just close it and play whatever it was I was going to play. If you need to update Adobe Flash Player you'll get a popup window when you restart your computer... and maybe that is what you got... I got one yesterday but I don't think I did it and I didn't get it today. In any case, maybe this will help someone... I'm glad things are working right for you now.

This is why I have Adobe set to NOT update anything unless I tell it to.
 
Plus, what Julien said above is another big thing.  Any time you visit a website and it tells you to update your Flash player, make sure you DON'T update it (just close the window) or there's a very good chance you've just downloaded something bad.

Julien , 
Yes , I see those type of things all the time …
those I just treat just like …...nice try , I'm not gonna bite the bait on this hook  
what I got was an actual update from Adobe ….after doing it I was not happy
it turns out that…. so are a lot of other folks that are on older Macs …
my second post has a link regarding the issues …it's all good after an uninstall and reinstall of the version I had 
thanks

Craig, 
I hear you bro , I had my preferences set up to notify me ….but not to install unless I chose to install ..
this is a big reason why I was pissed ….it was in fact and update of the flash player from Adobe and it looked harmless enough ….
according to what I found out online , my machine is not compatible with this update and they have even stated that it might be some time before they sort it out ….
I changed my preferences w Adobe to not check for updates …..
 
 
at the moment I'm just glad to be done w this thing for now

I don't have any problem with the update. Did you take off your real-time protection of your anti-virus when downloading it?
I have no problem with anything playing music.
 Did you download it from Adobe??
It is version 13.0.0.182 on my computer for Adobe Flash.
4/11/14 is the date that installed on my computer.
