Why Bit Locker To Go drive in the start menu when I never installed it, is this spyware any?

When I go into add or remove programs it does not show. I'm the only person who uses this laptop (DELL Inspiron E1405)

I had a friend the other day, I sat down next to him and never noticed anything out of the ordinary to use it.

Hello

BitLocker To Go reader is not a virus, it is a program that allows users to read flash drives that have been encrypted by a Windows version which includes Bitlocker to go drive encryption (Windows 7 Ultimate/Enterprise).

On Windows XP and Windows Vista, a flash drive that has been encrypted by bitlocker cannot be read without the help of the Bitlocker To Go reader. It is possible that your friend has a Bitlocker encrypted and thus had to drive to install the drive.

For more information on Bitlocker and how it works, see: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/products/features/bitlocker

  • In the start-up procedure, how can I remove "press ESC to access the Start Menu" when the machine hangs at the HP logo screen?

    Hello

    I am running 64 Win7HP on a laptop HP dv3, processor Core 2 Duo 4 GB DDR2 Ram, 320 GB HD, just as it came out of the box when purchased directly from HP replaced EXCEPT Vista OS with 64bits Win7HP.  Machine worked fine until the LAST update of Windows, where during the reboot, I got to the HP logo screen and in the lower left corner of the screen appeared the statement (for THE FIRST TIME) "Press ESC for the Start Menu."  Pressing Esc translates into another command "press Esc...".  Break. " When you press ESC, you get a black screen until the machine goes to sleep UNLESS you press Ctrl + Alt + Delete. If you press the 3 key combo, it will continue to start and brings you to the screen of your password for access and then operate nicely, until you turn off the system. So, how can I get rid of the superfluous instructions and get this thing here where he turns and goes directly to the screen of password without intermediate steps?  Restore points are long since gone for immediate access to the front last Win Update.
    The answer may be simple, but until now it has escaped my low range.  Any help is appreciated.

  • Cannot restore my laptop-"Repair my computer" not appearing is not in the start menu

    Once or twice in the past had to get my phone and it was an easy process thanks to the construction recovery option (computer repair) in the start menu (when you press F8 on the Toshiba screen), but now when I press F8 during the Toshiba screen and go to the boot options, there is no option to fix my computer. Fix my computer is usually the first option, but the first option is now "Start Windows in safe mode". Fix my computer disappeared! :(

    I think that the cause of my problem is that I started my laptop using my friend's windows startup disk when my computer would not start a month back. In fact, he got my laptop going again, but after starting my laptop, he told me that there is a problem with the start and he asked if I would like to repair and restart, I did. In addition, the windows startup disk, I used to start my laptop computer is a 64-bit version and my laptop has a 32-bit operating system. I don't know if that makes a difference.

    Could someone please help me by letting me know if there is anything I can do to get "Repair my computer" back. It is handy recover my computer when I want to just go back and get my laptop clocked in so it is better again.

    Short answer:
    There is nothing you can do about it except to include adjustments to plant again. I'm sorry. :(

  • Why the icons disappear from the Start Menu?

    The Start Menu has two regions: a region for applications whose icons are pinned to the Start Menu and two region, for applications whose icons are not pinnend to the start menu... the positions of icons these vary, depending on the frequency of use.

    Why in the region shortcut icons do not disappear into the Start Menu?
    They are not being "jostled" more low ranking... they stop just appear.
    Open an application can hand its icon at two area of the Start Menu,
    but then after a few days (maybe earlier), for example, the icon is missing.

    Thank you
    DaleB

    You already have the answer yourself.

    "The two region" can only hold x number of icons... Let's say 7.
    If you later open a 8th program, among the list of 7 will be "hit.
    I opened Windows DVD Maker. Later, I opened MS Excel. Windows DVD is moved from the list.

  • After the installation of Windows Virtual PC on my Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit system it does not appear in the start menu. How can I fix this so that I can run Windows XP in Windows Virtual PC?

    Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit running on an Intel i7 2600 system with an ASUS P8P67 motherboard.  Intel virtualualization has been enabled in the bios.  Windows XP mode has been installed on the system and the operating system has been updated with Service Pack 1.  Windows Virtual PC has been downloaded and installed, but does not appear in the start menu in the programs list. Now download for Windows Virtual PC will not allow to install another, nor that the first installation can be uninstalled because it is not on the list of programs. Virtual PC folder of Windows in the Program Files x 86 folder has only a folder with two files integration components; IntegrationCompnents.iso and Precompact.iso.

    It should be in the menu... Virtual PC / XP Mode or something. I don't know, I don't use win7 atm

  • Why are most of my grayed out icons and my programs do not appear in all programs on the start menu?

    My computer crashed the other day. I returned with a system restore. I have scanned for viruses. Now most of my icons (computer desktop and folders) is grayed out. When I click on "all programs" in the start menu, none is listed even though they are still on my computer and still work.

    Hi homeWJ,

    Method 1

    See the Microsoft article below to download and install the fix, check if it helps.

    When you point to "Programs" on a Windows XP-based computer, the program list does not appear, or the list of programs is empty

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/941248

    Method 2

    If the previous step fails, then analyze and remove any malware or computer virus infections and check if that helps.

  • Why a shortcut for Microsoft Update doesn't appear in the start menu as it always has in previous installations?

    In this latest new installation of Windows XP Pro when I upgraded from Windows Update, Microsoft Update no item does appear in the start menu in previous installations? Can I remove Microsoft Update and then reinstall it? Can I manually install the shortcut? I'm comfortable editing the registry.

    Off topic, I know, but you can work some magic for another problem. When I boot, when half of the icons appear in the notification area, I get a message that Windows Firewall is disabled. After the last icons appear, the message disappears and the firewall turns on again. It's annoying, and I'd love to [repair]. Thank you.

    Assuming that the message "the Windows Firewall is disabled" comes from the Security Center (Windows), looks like you see what we call a "race condition". Essentially, Security Center is loading before the Windows Firewall was fully charged (may be due to the amount of NAV system resources then uses what he loads and runs his own control over the firewall).

    Until the warning goes away in a few minutes, don't worry, you see a normal behavior (for Windows XP).
