Computer installed programs by itself, I have no idea how.?
-
Looking through my programs list in the start menu, I realized I had about 10 programs that I NEVER installed, and they were all at the end of the list. The first one was Microsoft Silverlight, and when I opened the program, it said "The following websites are using your computer for storage" and the only website listed was "brugervenlighedsteden.dk" , i tried visiting this website but browser did not find anything. There is no info about this site anywhere on the net. Other programs I found were: Motorola Desktop app Blackberry USB app Ogg Codecs Samsung Mobile USB driver Casio USB driver Smartsound Quicktracks plugin ABBYY FineReader 6.0 Sprint I uninstalled everything but I am worried someone hacked my computer

Answer:
dont uninstall those! those are apps for phones that i assume u have and drivers! i dont know what some are. Microsoft silverlight is kind of like adobe flash player and u should have kept it. remember, some things came installed on your computer when u bought it and for good reason. the apps and drivers u listed install automatically when u plug in the device they go with.

These programs are probably just drivers and plug-ins that were installed when you used things, such as a Motorola or Blackberry phone, as well as other things that you connected to your computer using a USB cable. Microsoft Silverlight is a plug-in from Microsoft that can help you do some things online, using Internet Explorer, as well as other things, I believe. If you would like more information about Microsoft Silverlight, perhaps you should visit the Microsoft Silverlight website. http://www.microsoft.com/silverlight/ If you're concerned that there may be a computer virus or other malicious file or program on your computer, I would suggest that you run both an antivirus scan, as well as an antispyware or antimalware scan. If you need a free antivirus program, I would suggest that you try using Microsoft Security Essentials, which can be downloaded from the link below. http://Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials If you need a free antimalware program, perhaps you should try using MalwareBytes, which can be downloaded from the link below. http://MalwareBytes.org Also, perhaps you should consider trying Mozilla FireFox, which is a free browser that is safer than Internet Explorer and can also be customized with a variety of different add-ons and themes. If you'd like to try using Mozilla FireFox, you can download it from the link below. http://Mozilla.com Good luck and I hope I helped you!
ABBYY FineReader 6.0 Sprint is OCR software that usually comes with your scanner. A great program that you may want if you ever need to scan documents for changes or storing as text. You may want to pay a little more attention when loading new software since a lot of these are added in when you install other software, especially if you choose the Typical option of installation.
