Why Registered Window has Single partition ?

Looking at your picture . You might want to start off by removing utorrent from your computer . We don't help people who pirate software . That's where you might have caught an infection . Regarding reinstalling McAfee some other time if you have a legit key for it you may install it on any computer you see fit . Personally I'd stay away from McAfee all togegether . When you buy a PC from a retail store like Best Buy the software and games that come with it are trial software unless you purchased the McAfee software at the time of purchasing the laptop .

I'd create recovery disc

Click then click All Programs, click Dell DataSafe Local Backup 2.0 and click Dell DataSafe Local Backup 2.0.

Click Create My Recovery Disc(s) Now then click Next .

Insert a blank DVD in the DVD burner, click Next and follow the prompts provided as the Recovery Disc creation takes place.

After the disc(s) have been created, click Finish .

Then delete the Recovery partition and do what you want with it . Most people move their documents away from the C drive . But first and foremost remove the utorrent program or you will not get any more help from here and may be banned . Just giving you a heads up . It would be better for you and your computer .

A bit OT but is the presence of a torrent app sufficient to assume piracy? Have never used torrents myself, but aren't they used for legit sharing (as well as pirated stuff)? Given the problem at hand I can see connecting the dots... but from this newcomer's POV the assumption and warnings seem a bit harsh. After all how many are helped here without any awareness of them even having a legit Windows license! Just my nickle's worth, no offense to anyone.

OT=Overtime?
POV=Privately own vehicle?

I do agree about uTorrent, I have it too but do not download pirated software. Some time back My Digital Life, the Official MS distributor used a torrent as the only way to download Official Vista .iso files.

I agree with you. Sometimes torrenting is just the preferred way of downloading/distributing software. Also, we link to torrent software here on sevenforums, so you could say its even hypocritical. Example (scroll down to Halite): Free Native 64-bit programs

Okay we are not a bunch of dummies here. We do know why a torrent is use for 99% of the time.

Just keep in mind so do the people who create infections. They are not dummies either. Torrents are one of the best ways to get infected.

I have never installed, used, or tried in any way a torrent and I have never had a problem downloading anything.

If you use a torrent it is not well you get infected it is when you will get infected. Like I said, the bad people you create infection and pass them around are not dummies.

Let me clarify myself before y'all start bashing someone . If you gave read my comment I said heads up . Maybe he or she doesn't download pirate stuff but most people use torrents for downloading pirated software . I also mentioned that if his stuff are pirated he won't get any help from here . Yes I know people use torrents to share files but people do use it to get pirated stuff . I believe MS uses digitalriver for distribution . I never said his or her windows is pirated . I just gave him or her a heads up .

Sorry y'all, no bashing intended in any way. Yeah I was wrong, it is Digital River not MDL. My Digital Life used to provide links to DR. Again I stand to be corrected. :)

I'm not a newcomer . If you take a look at my avatar it says I've been here since Oct 2008

I am not trying to argue with anyone .
