 I downloaded Tor to my freshly installed windows 10 last week but had to
 wait to receive new charger. When I started up today the Tor refused to
 connect. I suspected hacking from familiar sources and when I copied the
 error report
 (Output folder: C:\Users\Susan\Desktop\Tor Browser
 Output folder: C:\Users\Susan\Desktop\Tor Browser\Browser
 Can't write: C:\Users\Susan\Desktop\Tor Browser\Browser\IA2Marshal.dll)
 I searched the code and found it may have ransomware applied to the
 browser.
 This is the first time this has happened and I'm not sure where the former
 download went since I couldn't find it in the apps install section either.
 From reading the ransomware info it sounds like they know how to hide
 applications and overload the computer.
 I deleted the app and tried reinstalling but it wont copy.

 I detect a serious infection and this is a clean slated install of
 windows10.
