I found the problem with help from Dell support. It is a virus that was downloaded as part of a freeware app install package.
* Look for all instances of willies.exe on your PC. You'll see it in your Task Manager, but no matter what you do, you won't be able to delete source files. They are in multiple locations.
* Download unlocker.exe and use to delete all instances of willies.exe, Folder: Rejuvenate, Beaverton, etc. Any other folders created with same date/timestamp of willies.exe install.
* Reboot.
* Another alternative to unlocker is rebooting in safe mode with nothing loaded. Unlocker worked fine.
* To test it's gone, go into Task Veiw (Alt-Tab) and ensure no orphan windows showing. Also go into Task Manager and ensure no instances of willies.exe running.
