What is malware and how do you know if it affects your pc? Is it possible to solve the problem?
Definition of malware from Wikipedia.org
Malware, short for malicious software, is made up of programming (code, scripting, active content and other software) designed to disrupt or deny the operation of gathering information that leads to the loss of privacy, or operating, access resources system and other abusive behavior. The expression is a general term used by the professionals for a variety of forms of software code or hostile, intrusive, or annoying program.
One of the best (and FREE) ways to prevent it from running Microsoft Security Essentials, which will scan your (s) and eliminate the bad guys you can be picked up when you surf, opening files is sent to you etc.. Of course security software is only good if it updates often with the newly found bad, but MSE update daily and you can set to sweep once per day or more.

I suggest that you download and install, then let run a FULL scan and see what it finds.

my cd/dvd drive has stopped working. He said after a repair code 19. How to restore the drive?
Hello
19 code means there is a driver conflict such as two devices attempt to use the same resources.
Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
a process that solves the problem.Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue
below.
Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward

When I boot my laptop with Vista, loads and gets on the desk on either primary or a guest account, a small box about 2 x 3 "appears for only a fraction of a second, but I can see there is a red X on the top right corner and two clickable buttons, but I can't read what it says. How will I know what it says; where can I go to find it. There is nothing in sysconfig on startup, etc.
You must have something in the system start, probably in one of the keys to registry Run, which is something you don't recognize to run at startup.

Original title: completely clueless
I'm totally clueless when it comes to computers, but I try very hard to learn. I am using the help section a LOT, but I can't seem to find an answer to the only thing that makes me crazy. How can you know what drivers and programs are essential and those that can be deleted without harming my computer? I have a very basic net accountant I learn on before I screw up a portable more expensive and I do a cleaning on my C and D drives to improve performance because it runs so slow but it tells me I have the drivers who slow down Windows. I would greatky appreciate any assistance from someone who has the patience of a saint and is willing to take the time to explain it to me, in terms laymans. Thanks in advance
Drivers: you should know what you bought (in your machine) and what * you * want out of it. If you want stability and things work properly - let alone the drivers. If you want more performance check (and other games) in the drivers of motherboard chipset and video network from the manufacturers Web site... For more stability stick with the OEM website (HP, Dell, Lenovo - the assembler of the whole machine) and slightly more performance/push the limits (even if they want to work too - so still some stability) - access to websites of its components manufacturer.
With regard to the programs: you can decide what you use and do not use. If you are not sure, look it up (Google) or ask.

Should I delete the programs of 2004? How can you know what is safe to delete?
Original title: remove programs
I think I have a virus. I see on my computer a few applications with and installed as of 2004. The computer was purchased in 2007. When I run it in safe mode, it works fine and all applications have a date of 2007 or newer. Should I delete the programs of 2004? How can you know what is safe to delete?
Hello
This is not an indication of malware. Could be those are placed on the
computer by the manufacturer of the system and that was the date that firstly, they prepared their
for massive installation, or if they did not set a date and be used arbitrarily.=============================================================
If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to
scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be more difficult to detect as the
cause.No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however, you must also run
the regular windows when you can.TDSSKiller.exe. - Download the desktop - so go ahead and right-click on it - RUN AS ADMIN
