I also followed these directions:
If you continue to receive the error after all the above, make sure that the game launcher is fully closed out (you might want to reboot the pc again as a "just in case") and then perform these steps below:

1. Click on the Windows "Start" button and click "Run" or into "Start Search".
2. Type (or copy/paste) the following command, depending on which game is giving the error exactly as detailed below hitting enter when done:
3. %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Turbine\The Lord of the Rings Online\Launcher
4. Or:
5. %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Turbine\Dungeons and Dragons Online\Launcher

Upon opening that folder, find either the "News.html" file or the "Alerts.html" file detailed in the error (They might just show up as "News" or "Alerts") and right-click whichever one was indicated in the error and delete the file. Relaunch the game to test.

and found only text files, nothing that i can right-click to delete.

Try the steps in the article in the "Important Note" section about turning off the "Hidden" attribute for the (in your case) "Dad" folder.

Make sure you check for that malware also just to be safe.
