I'm still courious how my 17.12 codeblocks and visual studio broken at the same time but that doesn't matter now. Sorry for annoying you. Accept my appologies. and what is a help vampire? really now, never heard of this expression.
At least I knew it wasn't the anti virus. sorry for causing trouble
