I too am seeing blacked out boxes on your screen shot. It should look something like this:
My theme is BLACK. In your image the title box at the top is correct. My title box has a small appendage attached. It will not allow me to include an image of it in this post. The McAfee keeps being added every time I do a full recovery/install. I have deleted it three times after it prompts me to upgrade to premium and pay for it. What annoys me is I have to reset everything to my liking every time I do a reinstall/recovery. Windows Defender can't find the culprit nor can Malwarebytes that I installed last night. Glad for your interest and help.
