Firewall is active as you can see in the screenshot.

The antivirus is scanning AGAIN now, last time it deleted 26 viruses, it wasn't even exist when this problem started

From your screenshot, it looks as if you're running WindowsXP (high contrast theme). Note that the antivirus-package you're using (Avira) stopped supporting that back in april 2016 (https://www.avira.com/en/support-product-lifecycle).

Try to get your operating system clean first, then try a repair from the control panel, as that seems to resolve the issue for the only other occurence I know of related to malware (https://musescore.org/en/node/154026)

Also consider using a still supported operating system unless you have a very specific and good reason not to. Not for MuseScore's sake, but for your own and the internets…

[EDIT] Do you see the splash screen appearing when attempting to start MuseScore?

First .. Thank you all for trying to help me

second .. I really use rudimentary theme that has no good appearance but very practical and fast

but that doesn't matter for software, my operating system is still windows 7 whatever the theme is .. i have been using musescore all the time with this theme

I did the repair also from control panel .. same results .. nothing running

No splash screen appears ( the introduction musescore logo ) but it exist in task manager .. see this screenshot too

Have you perhaps been using custom soundfonts? MuseScore loads them at startup and that could take quite some time, depending on the size of the soundfonts.

First close any open MuseScore processes from the task manager. Then launch MuseScore and give it a lot of time (talking around 30mins to an hour here) to see if it gets through it.
