Hi :)

The O1 is fine and the O23 is related to SureThing_CD_Labeler from MicroVision Development, Inc. designed for MP3 and DVD buffs

I don't see malware in there.

Any symptoms/issues or were you just curious about those two lines?
Do you need help with any more issues or would you appreciate me giving you tips to prevent malware infections?
i dont know if i have been infected with something after that post. But my system tray icons sometime like to dissapear. The volume, battery, and network ones all do it.
Hmmm.... I can take a deeper look for malware, or I can send you to a forum which offers non-malware support as well.

Which would you prefer me to do?
It doesnt matter to me. Whatever you believe to be the best way about it

If this is the only symptom you're experiencing, then I recommend you to go to a general troubleshooting forum such as BleepingComputer.

If you have reason to suspect malware infection, let me know and I'll take a deeper look.

If you would like tips to prevent malware infections, let me know and I'll give some.
yea i would be interested in some tips
OK :)


Install a firewall
There is no firewall installed on your computer!
Either that, or you're using Windows Firewall, which is not a good idea.

Firewalls are programs that monitor incoming and outcoming connections to your computer. Did you know that, just by connecting to the internet, you are being exposed to hundreds of treats immediately? The way to solve this, is to use a firewall, and up-to-date antivirus software.

Windows Firewall only monitors incoming connections. This means that, once you are infected, the malware is free to ask for new instructions, send private data to its creator, or invite its malware buddies to come over. In other words: it's almost as good as no firewall at all.

Download a free for personal use firewall NOW. If you can't find a good one, try one of these:
Online Armor Free
Agnitum Outpost Free




General tip:
  • Turn on Automatic Updates if you have not done so. It is MANDATORY to keep your Windows updated, otherwise you are vulnerable to exploits! To turn on Automatic Updates: click Start > Control Panel > Security Centre > Automatic Updates.



Below are optional items. They will increase your security, but are not really "needed". That said, I recommend following at least one of these tips.

  • Install WinPatrol from here. Instructions for use are here.

  • Install a custom hosts file. Let's say I have a directory of 640kb's worth of bad sites. Let's say I can make sure you will never be able to access those sites, so you will never get any infection from those sites. It's like blocking a site - without site blocking tools. How would you like to never be able to visit (a lot, but not all of the) malware-infected sites again? Well, now you can!
    First, we must disable a service, as Windows cannot work with a very large hosts file while that service is active. This will not affect anything else.
    The disabling routine:
    • Click Start, then Run
    • Copy and paste the following:
      sc config dnscache start= disabled
    • Click OK

    Next, you can download the custom hosts file from here. Installation instructions can be found there as well.
