I checked my quarantined files and found no fritzing files. I deleted all the fritzing files, as you suggested. I downloaded a new copy of the fritzing program. I disconnected the internet. I unzipped the download and ran the .exe which installed fritzing. I opened the program, made a very simple schematic, and did a file save as. Windows file dialog opened, and then shortly after and get the message that the fritzing program is no longer running with the only option of quitting the porgram. same thing happens if I rerun the program, and select file open. All this occurred with the internet disconnected.
